Pop sensation Taylor Swift is so wildly popular and so successful that sometimes it feels like we're watching a Disney princess who's come to life. If we told you that she'd been born on a Christmas tree farm in Reading, Pennsylvania you'd probably believe us. That's just as well, because it's a fact! From that unusual moment on, Swift was singularly determined to become one of the biggest stars in the world. Her parents acquiesced to her burning ambitions, and agreed to move to Nashville so she could find a way into the country music business from there.
Breaking into country proved to be far too easy for Swift, but country only sells so many records, and so she branched out into pop (much to the chagrin of many of her early fans). Everybody knows a Taylor Swift song, whether it's 'Shake It Off' or 'Look What You Made Me Do,' and every time she has something new to release it feels like an event. She doesn't have many fans in the Kardashian-West household, but we doubt she cares all too much about that.
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.
