As people become increasingly conscious of health issues, items such as wheat grass are filling the shelves among various health food stores. It is also showing up more and more in healthy homes through the use of personal wheat grass juicers. But why drink wheat grass juice?
The benefits are many. Wheat grass is mostly fiber and chlorophyll, which are natural aids for digestion and regularity. Some people even claim the powerful juice can serve as a natural solution against a sore throat.
Beware of excessive praising of wheat grass, however. Some people tout it as a cure all for illnesses such as cancer, AIDS, even insanity. These exact claims were actually made by Anne Wigmore, and it resulted in a lawsuit. Falling back on her first amendment right, however, she ended up winning the case against the Massachusetts Attorney General.
Still, as a consumer, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Wheat grass is certainly healthy, but it won’t alleviate all your serious health problems. If you’d like, add it to your diet, just be realistic about what it can do for you.
