A few years ago, Kirk Cameron would have had no problem with kissing Erin Bethea on the set of 'Fireproof,' nor any other woman on any other film set. Cameron has performed plenty of on-screen kisses in his younger year, and he's done so with glee. All of that has changed now, because he's found two things in his life. Firstly, he's found a wife, and secondly, he's found God. Because of a combination of the two, he can no longer kiss other people.
Luckily, Cameron's wife is also an actor - she's Chelsea Noble, who starred with him in 'Growing Pains.' When the script of 'Fireproof' called for him to kiss Bethea's character, they simply brought Noble in, put her in Bethea's clothes, and shot the kissing scene from behind so nobody could tell the difference. We have to tip our hat to the director for that idea - it's a novel way around the problem.
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.
