Lara MMore on Wheatgrass
May 24th 2007 10:49
So we always suspected that those expensive little trays of grass that juice bars sell pulped up were quite mysterious, but where did the idea actually come from? The first exponent of the wonders of wheatgrass was a woman by the name of Ann Wigmore, who lived in Boston between 1909 and 1994.
She is also a great advocate of the consumption of raw foods and claims numerous health benefits. She researched the topic extensively over her lifetime and produced at least fifteen books on the subject.
Wigmore and her theories are still revered today, and there is plenty of extant literature available and websites dedicated to cause.
A few of the major sites are:
http://www.wigmore.org/
http://www.annwigmore.com
http://www.annwigmore.org
Really Long Link
However, the National Council Against Health Fraud thoroughly debunks Wigmore’s claims on many counts. It also adds that Wigmore’s ideas were inspired by the bible story of Nebuchadnezzar, in which the insane king lives on grass for seven years before curing himself. The site, though apparently well referenced, does not appear very scholarly and I could not find any other evidence to substantiate these claims. However, I did come across several websites which suggest a strong link between raw foods and Christianity.
