Chloe Sevigny was catapulted to fame on the back of the seminal and controversial 1995 movie 'Kids', which won applause and acclaim for its head on discussion of racial politics, drug use and sex among young people. Having found her way into the world of celebrity via controversy, Chloe never really looked back.
Still highly active in film and television, as well as working as a fashion designer (a habit she puts down to locking herself in the bedroom and sewing when she was a child because she was bored), there's little that Chloe hasn't done. She once dated British pop star Jarvis Cocker. She performed one of the first unsimulated on-screen sex acts in the history of Western cinema. She became a director with the release of 2016's "Kitty", and she may be one of the most interesting people in the world. But to many of us, she'll always be Jennie, or Lana from "Boys Don't Cry".
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.
