Something hardly anyone knows is that the late Brittany Murphy, famous onscreen and voice actress, portrayed King of The Hill's Luanne Platter for years. Murphy's other well-known voice work includes the animated film about penguins, Happy Feet. Unfortunately, we lost this super talent too soon when she was found dead in her home, due to pneumonia.
Brittany Murphy's body of work is extensive - there's no way you haven't seen at least one film she has starred in. Her most famous roles include Tai Frasier in Clueless, Daisy Randone in Girl, Interrupted, Lisa Swenson in Drop Dead Gorgeous, Elisabeth Burrows in Don't Say a Word, Alex Latourno in 8 Mile, Fay Forrester in Riding in Cars with Boys, and Shellie in Sin City. Her final film, Something Wicked, was released in 2014, five years after her death.
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.
