Question 1

Is drinking wheatgrass juice healthy for u?

Accepted Answer

Wheatgrass juice is undoubtedly quite healthy; it is a rich source of antioxidants and magnesium. Proponents of wheatgrass claim it is a panacea for a wide variety of health problems- see http://www.Hippocratesinst.Org/wheatgrass/benefits-of-wheatgrass 
unfortunately, virtually all of these claims are unsubstantiated as there is little research to prove or disprove them-see my comment for a link:.

Question 2

How long does it take ferritin to decrease significantly if drinking 1 oz of wheatgrass juice daily?

Accepted Answer

I understand that this is a 79 year old man with myelodysplastic syndrome who is transfusion-dependent. Despite the enormous hype for this concoction as a treatment for iron overload, i can&#x27;t find a plausible mechanism and everything&#x27;s anecdotal. I&#x27;d expect your experiment to be a complete failure. Your oncologist may recommend an actual iron chelator.

Question 3

Is it safe to drink wheatgrass while breastfeeding my 6 month old? is there anything to stay away from while juicing and breastfeeding?

wheatgrass is not recommended to take while breastfeeding. Because wheatgrass is raw, there is the risk of bacterial or fungal contamination which can possibly pose a risk to a baby breastfeeding. Stick to fresh fruits and veggies.

Accepted Answer

Vitiligo may be an autoimmune condition and often difficult to treat.  Herbal supplements and OTC medications are unlikely to be of use.  See a good dermatologist.  The disease may be associated with other autoimmune conditions so talk to your doctor.  Make sure it is not tinea versicolor or other fungal or inflammatory skin conditions.

Question 5

Although drinking wheatgrass juice will likely not interfere with your thyroid medication, you should have it seperate from when you take the thyroid pill.  There is no evidence that this juice is helpful for your thyroid.

Question 6

Is wheat grass safe to drink in a powdered form? and is it less nutritional?

Accepted Answer

But they prefer the natural form. I don't think wheat grass has any "special" nutritional value in any form. It helps the seller much more than the buyer/user. Honest. There are many claims of healthy benefits ranging from heavy metal detoxification to preventing cancer. I think this is just a relatively (bad tasting) harmless form of modern snake oil. Sorry.

Question 7

What are the benefits and side effects of drinking wheat grass juice?

Accepted Answer

Claims about health benefits of wheatgrass include  supplemental nutrition to unique curative properties, none have been scientifically proven. Some consumers grow and juice wheatgrass in their homes. It is often available in juice bars, alone or in mixed fruit or vegetable drinks. It is also available in many health food stores as fresh produce, tablets, frozen juice.
