The LA Chronicle just published an article about the benefits of wheatgrass. One part I found interesting is that it referred to studies of animals given chlorophyll. They found that when animals with very low red-blood cell counts or those that were extremely anemic were given chlorophyll, their red blood cell count returned to normal within 3-4 days.
Although many aspects of wheatgrass juice are vague and under-studied, one thing we DO know is that wheatgrass juice consists of approximately 70% chlorophyll. If more studies show the benefits of chlorophyll on humans, this might convince some of the cynics out there that wheatgrass juice is in fact a whole lot more than blended up lawn clippings!!!
