The green drink made on stage today contained pineapple, spinach, coconut water, lemon juice, ginger, and wheatgrass cubes. The woman was asked by Oz about the value of wheatgrass. She mistakenly said it was to cleanse and purify, but in reality the nutrients build the blood and fortify instead. The lemon detoxes to some extent, but the green drink ingredients are primarily going to be used by the body to build blood and deliver nutrients to cells.
Zucchini does not make a pasta, it might resemble noodles when you julienne into thin strips; but describing vegetable strands as a pasta is a mistake.

Does this sound like nit-picking to you? Well, you do benefit from knowing why and how things work.
These are not quite secrets, but many of these ideas do have merit. Some may also be inaccurate to some extent… Be mindful.
