Sometimes, a role has a habit of defining your career in ways that you don't expect it to. Jonathan Lipnicki was the star of 'Stuart Little,' and it turned out to be a case of little by name, and little by nature. He's much older now than he was when he broke out onto the big screen as a child actor, but he hasn't grown much taller. He's 5 foot 7. He's not the smallest man on our list, but he's noticeably shorter than most men around him.
Lipnicki was able to carry his child-star fame forward for a little while - he got 'Stuart Little' off the back of being Renee Zellweger's son in the classic 'Jerry Maguire' - but in recent years he's not been able to get himself on level pegging with the majority of his former co-stars. He still gets work semi-regularly, but you're more likely to see him in minor roles on television than you are in the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
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.
