Recent studies suggest that microplastic accumulation in the brain is strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Consuming fiber-rich foods binds these microplastics in the gut, aiding their removal from the body.
Many green superfoods provide little fiber and are sold in plastic containers, which increases microplastic exposure while failing to reduce it—a combination that undermines potential health benefits.
All probiotic research shows that cellulose and other insoluble fibers are essential for probiotic growth. Most whole vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains contain them. Removing fiber is the wrong approach!
Pines introduced our cereal grass products in 1976 by focusing on whole-food dark green cereal grass and alfalfa, which research laboratories use as media for growing probiotics. Our products uniquely offer both high nutritional density and adequate levels of cellulose and other insoluble fiber, supporting probiotic growth and the elimination of microplastics.
Companies selling green food blends in plastic tubs often remove cellulose and insoluble fiber, claiming they're indigestible. This misses the point: these fibers are essential for probiotics to thrive, prevent disease, and help remove microplastics.
If you use a green food supplement, be aware: blends with juice powders sold in plastic tubs may increase microplastic exposure without providing enough fiber. Switching to whole-food greens in amber glass bottles from Pines aligns with scientific research on health and safety.
