There is no need to believe in the acid/alkaline theory. Vitamins and minerals are not foods and do not exist in nature themselves. Too much of some of them can kill you. All of the Greens Drinks contain whole foods or superfoods that are great for health.

The webpage above (underlined) tells the benefits of greens drinks in general (and their ingredients) and how nutritionists use them instead of vitamin/mineral supplements. The U.S. government advice on vitamins and minerals is to get them in foods. The greens drinks are foods! Steve Pavlina may juice some broccoli but it is still a food.

Some say that spirulina (blue-green algae) is the most nutritious food. It has more calcium than milk, more beta-carotene than carrots, more vitamin E than wheat germ, more iron than spinach. Also fish get their omega-3s from eating algae, so this has more omega-3 than fish.

But the chlorella (green algae) grows faster, doubling its size every 2 days. A guy tested all the land plant foods and found that barley grass was the most nutritious. Some feel that wheat grass is better. But instead of going to war to fight over which one is the best superfood they decided to put all of them into the greens drinks.

The creator of the Perfect Greens was dying of Crohn's disease and many different doctors of all sorts could not help him. He cured himself and became an N.D. His specialty is good bacteria in soil and his greens drink has 10 different good bacteria strains (pro-biotics) in it so for intestinal problems, his would be the best. The above site has an example of a woman losing lots of weight with a greens drink.

They are green since they have lots of plant blood (chlorophyll) in them. Chlorophyll is exactly like blood in its molecular structure except for one having iron in the center atom and one having copper as its center atom. This is chemistry, not a new age belief like alkaline/acid that is still controversial. Chlorophyll or plant blood is very cleansing and detoxifying for the body.

They contain lots of vitamins and minerals but are not vitamins and minerals which are not foods. They are chemicals made in a laboratory. You can juice, slice and dice a food and it is still food. If a vitamin is not made with chemicals then it is taken from a food with a chemical reaction (I used to be a chemist). Eat food, not chemicals (including drugs) which may have caused the death of Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee and Elvis Presley. A cow can grow to be 1,000 pounds just from eating green grass.
