46. Emma Stone

There's nothing showy or flamboyant about the name 'Emma Stone', so why has the rapidly-rising American actress chosen it? Was she in La La Land when it became time to choose a working title? Actually no; she wanted to use her real name. She just wasn't allowed to!

At the age of sixteen, as she got more and more acting work, she found out that there was already an Emily Stone - which is her real name - active in Hollywood, and so she'd have to choose a new identity. She initially chose 'Riley Stone' but couldn't get used to it and so decided to go as close to her real name as possible without treading on the toes of the other actress. She also admits that her favorite Spice Girl was Emma Bunton when she was growing up, which helps! Apparently, most of her friends know her simply as 'M', which makes her sound like she's in a Bond movie.

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.
