Around the same time as her Lady Sif fame, Jaimie Alexander played the main character in Blindspot. That's the show famous for being about a woman with mysterious tattoos all over her body. A bunch of male producers were sitting around thinking, "how can we make a show where showing a woman's naked body is imperative to the plot?" After a few minutes of silence where people looked up the world "imperative," someone pitched the idea for Blindspot.
I'd be the worst actor to cast in that role. The detectives would be looking at my body: "I think this may be a clue." / "No. Those are just stretch marks. And that looks like a chocolate chip." Then I'd peel the chocolate chip off my body and eat it. Doesn't that sound like a show you'd like to watch?
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.
