Without It, There Is No Life!
As a nutraceutical category, green foods are relatively new in the U.S. However, the
consumption of green foods dates back thousands of years, from the Aztecs in
Mexico to early African cultures in the region of Lake Chad. They were first introduced
in the US during the 1920s when wheat grass was a popular multivitamin
supplement. But green foods fell by the wayside when the more cost efficient
synthetic vitamins and minerals were introduced. Prior to the development of
synthetic vitamins in the early 1950s, cereal grass was sold in every pharmacy.
During the 1960s green foods became a trend among hippies and health food
fanatics. Today, they represent some of the most concentrated sources of nutrition
available.
Green foods are different from mainstream vitamin and mineral supplements
because they are not synthetic nor isolated compounds-they are whole food sources
of nutrition. Vitamin and minerals in their isolated form are not as effective as the
same vitamins and minerals in the natural matrix found in whole foods.
Chlorophyll is so much a whole food in nature, it can help man whenever he comes
up chemically short of vital body nutrients. It will help any nutritional shortage.
Chlorophyll is an all around food beneficial for tissue repair and building. It is one of
nature's greatest healers for conditions inside and outside the body. Much of man's
food should be green if he is to remain in balance with the natural environment and
laws of nature.
