JJ43 has TRIED to make a point to your that a BRIX test is GREAT(perhaps) to know if you are raising FRUIT!

With regard to brix, if you reread my post you'll see we have the same position.
That is why we use a spectrophotometer to measure chlorophyll. That said, you just need to choose a relevant indicator and do the best that you can because there are different lines of thinking. As an example, Dr. Chris Reynolds from Australia believes that the benefits from the juice come not from chlorophyll but rather a very small, currently unidentified molecule associated with chlorophyll but not chlorophyll itself. Our thought is that if the traditional claims are correct then chlorophyll is a good measure. On the other hand, if Dr. Reynolds is correct, this would still be a good measure due to the correlation he has theorized.
In terms of blood, the jury is still out on the similarities between chlorophyll and hemoglobin. 50% say true, 50% say false. I don't know the answer but a quick visual inspection will show you that the molecular structure has some similarities but many more differences. You can see diagrams on page 9 of "The Wheatgrass Book" by Ann Wigmore to review.
I do want to correct an inadvertent error in your post because it is quite important. Physicians do not think that wheatgrass thins the blood; rather, they are concerned that it contains large amounts of vitamin K. Vitamin K assists in blood coagulation and is contraindicated for people on blood thinners. Regardless of your personal approach, this is one where you really have to refer them back to their physician.
