As a college football star at Minot State University in North Dakota, Josh Duhamel seemed to have all the tools to make it as a professional sportsman. Fate had other ideas for him. He'd still become a star - just not on the football field. Falling in love as a teenager proved to have a transformative effect on him. He followed his then-girlfriend to California when she wanted to pursue a career, and took on modeling work to help pay the bills. The relationship didn't last - but Duhamel's career in front of the camera did.
Through his modeling work, Duhamel was picked up to play Leo du Pres on 'All My Children,' which was his launching pad into further television and film work. Superstardom reached him when he was cast in the 'Transformers' film series, in which he's had a starring role in four out of the five movies to date. Video game enthusiasts are also familiar with his voice and likeness from his performance in the 2017 World War II inspired version of 'Call of Duty.'
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.
