Much like 'Jersey Shore,' 'The Hills' was all about beautiful young people living a rich lifestyle. While various people claim to have been 'the star' of the show, it was Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, her boyfriend, who were probably responsible for bringing the majority of the viewers in. Wherever the pair went drama was sure to follow, and viewers couldn't get enough for it for a while.
TV shows have a shelf life, though, and by 2010 it was time to say goodbye to 'The Hills' for the final time. Believing that she was a bonafide reality TV star who could go anywhere she liked, Montag tried her hand at shows like 'Celebrity Big Brother,' but the public had grown tired of her one-note act. They moved on, and when they did, she could no longer ask for the kind of appearances fees that she'd once have attracted easily.
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.
