So I had that wheat grass ish today

Thanks MM. Do you know of any studies done on it you can share? I read a little about it and aside from the chlorophyll thing, it's other nutrient/vitamin benefits seem to be somewhat debatable compared to reasonable amounts of other green veggies.

Studies, nope.

But you gotta remember something, wheatgrass falls into the category of "alternative medicine." Ergo, in terms of conventional western medicine, it's bullshit.

In fact, here's an article that tells you how studies basically disprove much of the hype:

Now, here's what I'll tell you, the shit can benefit the body, if taken regularly, and in the right fashion (i.e., first thing in the morning, before anything else or on an otherwise extremely empty stomach).

You can research positive anecdotal opinion based articles all over the place.

But if you're looking for empiric facts, nope, can't help you.

Alternative medicine is right up there with chiropractic therapy. You either find that it works, it's benefitted you, and you stick with it, or you've never been helped or haven't the confidence to try.

I mean I have a personal theory why it may be more beneficial than your average vegetable, but it's late and I'm in no condition to try to explain biophotonics right now.

Put it this way, no matter what, you certainly didn't do yourself any harm.
