How can I persuade my classmates that you can live purely off of wheatgrass.?
Question: why would you try to convince them of something that you don't even know the answer too?





Answer: Because you know it is not true.
Reply:You can't live purely off of wheat grass. You would need a lot of nutritional supliments to try to pull that off. It has no source of protein, very little sugar, and about 30 other vitamins and nutrients you need to live a healthy life.
Reply:You probably can't!
Reply:Good luck trying to convince people of something that is not true. If you succeed, go into politics.

I don't know how much luck you will have by saying you can ONLY live off Wheatgrass... but check this link its an article about Wheatgrass and health.
Reply:CAM hit the nail on the head.
Reply:you can try by going through "every known mineral is in wheatgrass" and all that... but the fact is, the amount of each mineral is not in proportion to what people need to survive. In order to intake enough wheatgrass (juice, i assume) to fufill your requirements of carbohydrates (since essential proteins and fats aren't in wheat grass) you will take in a toxic amount of micronutrients (selenium, copper, iron, etc.)
Reply:You can explain to your class, that wheatgrass has the minimum necessary components for a person to survive when there is no other source of food. The human body will need adapt to this, but the problem is that we do not have the stomach that cows and herbivore have. In their diet wheatgrass is enough, But our stomach would not be able to extract all benefits of wheatgrass.
Reply:well have you been using it? just base your speech on what you have experienced since you have been using it
Reply:You couldn't live off of wheatgrass because it doesn't qualify in every catagory of the food pyramid nor have all the vitamins and amino acids you need that other foods have.
Reply:it's a fallacy. you cannot live off of wheatgrass
