Do you drink Wheat Grass?

Several health experts have said that the chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass is almost identical to the haemoglobin molecule in human blood. The only difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron. They say that, because of the similarity, the body can change chlorophyll into haemoglobin, which increases the red blood cell count. Of course, this would also apply to the chlorophyll molecule from any green vegetable. It is also claimed to be a good source of vitamins B, C, E and carotene, saponins and an impressive list of amino acids. In fact, all of these things can be easily had from a good, balanced diet. The sale of wheatgrass drink is really just another of those 'health-food' hypes which seek to extract money from people who are unjustifiably anxious about their health (and, perhaps, those who are reluctant to change to a healthy diet and think that, by popping a vitamin pill or drinking something that looks more like the scum from a pond than a refreshing drink, they are 'balancing' their diet!) Great claims are made for wheatgrass, it is true, but you will notice that you find those claims made largely by people who are selling it!

I have not heard of it...!
