Meryl Streep is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, one of the most iconic Hollywood figures of all time. She's also someone who, despite her immense fame and public profile, manages to do something that's truly rare with celebrities in the modern age; she keeps her private life private. For that reason, we may never know why there are so many years between the oldest and youngest of her four children. That's fair enough, it's none of our business; we're just curious!
Streep has had all of her children with husband Don Gummer, who she married in 1978 and had her first son with the following year. Three daughters followed, with the last arriving in 1991 when Streep was 42. All of their children have gone in to have careers in the arts themselves, with son John Wolfe a musician, daughters Mary and Grace Gummer actresses, and youngest daughter Louisa Gummer currently a popular model on social media.
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.
