This is an interesting one; and by that we don't just mean that Charlie Sheen is interesting. That's already self-explanatory. Hollywood's wild child has had quite the career of big roles and big headlines. But the way he arrived at his name could only happen if you had famous parents.
Sheen's father, as you probably know, is 'Apocalypse Now' star Martin Sheen. But his father didn't use his real name either; he was born Ramon Estevez and named his eldest son Carlos Estevez. That left the young Sheen with two choices; go into acting with his real name or do exactly as his father did; take something that sounded 'more American' and use the name that his father famous as a foot in the door. He chose that route. His brother, Emilio Estevez, chose to walk the other path!
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.
