Article: Wheatgrass Juice -
It's the health tonic of the moment, but where's the evidence for its benefits?
Choice magazine (Australia Consumers Association) released an article wheatgrass and portrayed it in a biased way.
.. and here are my comments:
Any article which is set up to discredit a product or service is in its nature biased, and therefore has discredited itself.
I do appreciate a service which sets itself up as a watchdog of false products or services claims and advertisements..
However, it is when it becomes apparent that the watchdog itself needs watching that the service has diminished itself.
Any form of generalisation makes a mockery out of scientific based research and critic.
Any article can be tilted in any direction by way of questions... and by asking or looking for negative and general questions, you will get get general negative answers...
Just because one journalist has made false claims, (Heaven forbid has that ever happened?) does not mean that I would write an article about Journalists can't be trusted.
No, I wouldn't. I would ask specific questions to all aspect of journalism, the positive and the negative ones...
...and the same would be appreciated from a magazine.
Questions, like -
How in these times of processed food and rising alarming disease statistics, can we support our health?
Can wheat grass help us to obtain something of an unprocessed nutritional value?
Does it do any harm? - Apparently not...
Does it do any good? - Apparently yes...
Is long term usage with positive reported benefits enough evidence?
If there are any outlandish claims, who specifically made them?
Who has paid for the research, the positive and the negative ones?
The biggest mistake often made is, not to ask a supportive question, such as >>>
could it be of benefit, could it be supporting our health.
If this question would be ask more often, I am sure we would have many more natural substances on the market for the benefit of all.
Unfortunately too many throw out the baby with the bath water, so to speak...
There can be absolutely no denying that wheat grass juice would be better and more beneficial to "SUPPORT HEALTH", than most commercial processed drinks, including coffee and coke, as it was compared to within the choice magazine article...
as for personal interest, has choice magazine ever questioned the supposed and advertised benefits of drinking coke, or all the other "amazing" commercial drinks, which seem to make you fly, wow that's outlandish ;-)
Health, peace and love, life can be beautiful, support it...
