Question 6

has anyone had any significant health benefits after taking wheatgrass regularly?

Accepted Answer

Just anecdotes: Anecdotes aren't science that you should bet your life on. I found two studies, both small ones in obscure journals.

But do you really think the juice from grass clippings is going to cure disease?

Website info says: Wheatgrass is generally considered safe, although a few individuals have reported nausea, headaches, hives, or swelling in the throat within minutes of drinking its juice.
