Reasons that people don't like Nicolas Cage broadly fall into two categories; either his habit of not paying tax, or his habit of making terrible films. The two things are connected. According to Cage's former manager, the actor is a compulsive spender who frequently makes outlandish and extravagant purchases on the spur of the moment, which led to him owning 15 different private residences at one point. He didn't keep up with tax payments on any of them, which led to him owing the IRS millions of dollars. As a result, he has to take any paid acting work he's offered - even when the script is awful.
We shouldn't really blame Cage for working hard to pay off his debts; nobody forces us to watch them. He's also probably a nice guy - back when he had money, he was known as one of the most generous stars in Hollywood. In the past, he's donated $2m to Amnesty International, and $1m to support victims of Hurricane Katrina.
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.
