RE: Amazing Wheatgrass

in #homesteading7 years ago

Drink your wheat-grass, that's all great.

But please don't use bad science. The fact that those two compounds "look" the same does not mean they share any chemical properties. That's not how molecules work.

In biochemistry - two "identical" molecules can have vastly different effects. I suggest you read up about Thalidomide disaster where scientist got it so very badly wrong.

"Thalidomide is provided as a racemic mixture of two enantiomers; while there are reports that only one of the enantiomers may cause birth defects, the body converts each enantiomer into the other through mechanisms that are not well understood." - Wikipedia

I want to thank you for commenting. Bad Science, that's interesting, sounds like a movie to me BAD SCIENCE where the world was taken over by these rouge scientists who unleashed an army of killer microbes, oh wait a minute thats whats happening today but instead of microbes it's pharmaseticals . If you look deeper into the functions they are both oxygen carriers.

So is hydrogen peroxide 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ps. Oxygen is poisonous for plants

I do agree that treatments can't just mean popping pills and we need to look at the wider causes. But that is something that can be done with good science. By that I mean peer reviewed journals where work has to be shown to be true beyond a reasonable doubt.

HHHHHHmmmmmmmm, let's put it this way, I have been a student of the natural laws of life. The simplicity of nature, meditation, and fasting. SO what I am saying if you are looking for a scientific debate this is not the person. Now if you want to discuss the miracles of wheatgrass please continue, this would require a brief study on how chlorophyll enhances our body and mind.
