We already mentioned Danny DeVito in our introduction, so let's get him out of the way early by saying yes, of course he's one of the better-known short people in the entertainment business. We'd even go so far as saying he's one of the best-known short people in the whole world. Generations of movie-goers have grown up watching Danny DeVito, whether he was making us laugh in 'Twins' or to tormenting Batman as the Penguin in 'Batman Returns.' How many of you remember his big break opposite Jack Nicholson in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?'
These days, younger audiences are more likely to know him from 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' where he's demonstrated that he's lost none of his comedic wit over time. DeVito doesn't even crack the 5-foot barrier - he's 4 feet and 10 inches tall - but there's a medical reason for that. DeVito was born with a condition called Fairbank's Disease. Needless to say, he's never let it hold him back.
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.
