does it work? or is it just a way to make fools of health nuts by convincing them that drinking mulched grass is good for them?

if you have Celiac Sprue disease (a relatively common genetic autoimmune disease involving digestive system intolerance of wheat, barley & rye ...causing intestinal damage which results in malabsorption of nutrients from food) and drink wheatgrass juice (or even beer) you may be severely damaging your health.

some people theorize that our systems primarily developed on a 'paleo' diet - hunter/gatherer etc
"they're livin' on nuts & berries/they're makin' fools of us"
