Like every Hollywood A-Lister, Tom Cruise doesn't stand a chance of taking every part he's offered. He'd never get a day off if he did! Cruise was the first choice to play 'Iron Man,' and has had to watch as Robert Downey Junior had the time of his life playing the superhero. That's not 'the one that got away' for Cruise, though. His biggest mistake was letting Russell Crowe play John Nash in 'A Beautiful Mind.'
For all the incredible achievements of Cruise's long career, the one accolade that's always escaped him is an Oscar. Incredibly, he's never been selected as 'Best Actor.' 'A Beautiful Mind' was an Oscar-worthy film, winning several awards and gaining a nomination for 'Best Actor.' It didn't win, but if it had been Cruise in the role could he have picked up the award where Crowe failed? We'll never know, but it might have been Cruise's best shot, and he missed out.
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.
