Phillip Phillips - so good they named him twice- is best known to audiences as a winner of TV talent show 'American Idol'. His winning song 'Home' is actually still the biggest selling 'American Idol' song of all time. He did not, however, appear as the son of Bruce Willis' character John McClane in the forgettable fifth 'Die Hard' movie, 'A Good Day to Die Hard'. That was Jai Courtney.
Courtney's entry into the 'Die Hard' franchise was intended to position him as a successor to Willis, allowing the films to continue with a new central character after Willis becomes too old to play the part. It didn't exactly go to plan. The film had poor reviews, bombed in the United States, and only turned a profit because it did well abroad. If they want to try again, they could recast the part to Phillips now he's moved into acting and see if he has better luck.
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.
