There may never have been a musician as prolific as Prince. No sooner had he written an album then he was bored of it, and already working on his next one. He wrote even more songs for other people than he ever did for himself, and according to some people he wrote at least one a day for over ten years. 'Purple Rain,' '1999' and 'When Doves Cry' are probably his three biggest hits, but he turned Sinead O'Connor into a star when he wrote 'Nothing Compares 2 U' for her.
Despite having such a high-profile public persona, Prince was something of an enigma in person. He never left Minnesota, choosing to remain there for his whole life, and became as famous for his quirky behavior as he was for his music - especially when he changed his name to get out of his recording contract with Sony.
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.
