Wow! You would think the medical and nutrition establishments should be promoting wheat grass more. Does it have a grasslike consistency or it is only drunk?
Both chlorophyll (as in organic wheatgrass juice) and haemoglobin (red blood cells) are molecularly similar. The only actual difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron, so chlorophyll has been shown to build red blood cells quickly after ingestion.
Uhhh, no. Molecular similarity is irrelevant. Graphite is molecularly identical to diamond... feel free to show me the easy way to transform one into the other. Perhaps if there was some data to support the idea that chlorophyll was not broken down in the digestive system and was simply transformed, then the website might have a point (funny how they neglect that data). But an explanation how that molecule travels fundamentaly whole to the blood production sites and then is catalyzed into haemoglobin would be far more persuasive.
Add to this the down right humorous claims about Body Cleansing, and you have the standard alternative medicine/foods hyperbole.
It's not about the presence or amounts of "nutrients," it's about the form they come in (making them easier to metabolize... instead of just passing right through the body)...
Many medical and nutrition people do Even my HMO MD does , Wheat grass has long been known to pick one up if you are in a run down condition, however one should watch their iorn level using wheat grass as one can get to much iorn. Wheat grass has very green but somewhat sweet taste.
