Growth stimulating properties of grass juice. Kohler G, Elvehjem C, Hart E. Science.
1936. 445
Growth of rats increases on a diet of milk produced on summer pasture compared with milk produced from winter feeding conditions. i.e. fodder. When grass juice was added to the winter milk diet, growth doubled from 2 to 4 grams a day. (See Fig. 1) It was evident there are important water-soluble substances in the juice that directly stimulate growth when added to winter milk.
Dr. Chris' comment:
This is one of the earliest studies showing the presence of the "Grass Juice Factor" in cereal grasses and the profound effect it has on animals' growth. Perhaps my theory of
growth factor activation by wheatgrass in humans is not as far-fetched as some would believe.
