Ever been walking down the street, thought you've seen a friend passing in the other direction, stopped to say "hi" and realized it wasn't them? Unsettling, isn't it? Even more strangely, have you ever seen someone else in a crowded room and noticed an uncanny resemblance to yourself?
We're all born as beautiful, unique individuals, but there are only so many possible variations on face and body type. Limited hair and eye colors. That means in a world of six billion people, we all have at least one doppelganger out there.
In the case of some famous people, their doppelganger also became famous, and that means they're often mistaken for each other. Even their own fans, press photographers and journalists struggle to tell them apart. Here are fifty celebrities who look so alike, they must routinely sign autographs for each other because it's easier than correcting the people who ask!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
