He had defended Jackson over the last few years, and Macaulay did it all over again. Despite being out of the limelight for over a decade, Macaulay was well spoken and effusive, essentially telling the courtroom that nothing had happened, and that Jackson wasn't like people claimed at all. It was perhaps the most compelling testimony of the whole trial, and one that no doubt swayed the minds of the jury.
In response to the allegations, Culkin called them "absolutely ridiculous," and insisted that he'd "never seen him do anything improper with anybody." He called their friendship a "comforting thing", and when cross-examined about whether he felt that Jackson had ever been grooming him, he replied, "no, never." Even his parents were fine with his relationship, Culkin said. "They never really saw it as an issue."
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.
