We're not being mean to red haired people here, we promise! Ed Sheeran's soft features must just make it easy for him to be mistaken for anybody who has the same hair color. As well as sometimes looking like he might have been Harry Potter's best friend, Sheeran is also occasionally congratulated on his recent marriage to Meghan Markle.
It doesn't help that Sheeran is actually friends with some of the royals, and especially Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. That means he hangs around with the royal crowd and goes to parties where the younger royals are; which is exactly where you'd expect to find Harry (as in the Prince, not Potter!), and making it a difficult night for the paparazzi. Excruciatingly, the confusion sometimes happens the other way around, too. Actress Margot Robbie once had to apologize to Harry for thinking she was being introduced to Sheeran. Talk about awkward.
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.
