Chlorophyll is the green pignment found in plants which helps them absorb light for photosynthesis, but why is it now trendy to add it to water?
Transcript
00:00If Lucy Fink comes up to you and is like,
00:01hey, try this green water, don't do it.
00:04It's plant blood.
00:06Blood?
00:08Plant blood.
00:10What is the deal with chlorophyll water?
00:15Chlorophyll, it's green.
00:17Chlorophyll, you can give it to your kids.
00:20Chlorophyll, C-H-L-O-R-O-P-Y-P-H-Y-L-L.
00:28Did I get that right?
00:30Chlorophyll.
00:32Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants
00:34that helps them absorb light to be used for photosynthesis.
00:37Adding chlorophyll to your water is one of the latest health
00:40trends at juice bars, health food stores, and yoga studios.
00:43So let me tell you something.
00:44It's green, which to me means health.
00:46That is a dumb way of looking at things.
00:51People say chlorophyll water helps, you know,
00:55cleanse your body's odors.
00:56It helps with arthritis, blood clotting, cancer, wound healing.
01:01It's a little tricky because the science hasn't been proven
01:04just yet on all levels.
01:07Are you for real?
01:08Do you think that anyone even knows what this is?
01:10Some people probably.
01:11Hey guys, anyone who's free for a second,
01:13I just have a quick question.
01:15Show of hands.
01:17Who has ever heard or knows anything about chlorophyll water?
01:24Nobody.
01:26Wow.
01:27All right.
01:28Back to work.
01:29Geez.
01:30Maybe if we ask people in the office,
01:32some people would probably prefer this over regular water.
01:35I doubt it.
01:38But let's try it.
01:39Are we rolling?
01:40Okay, well we're gonna go ambush somebody and make them drink this junk.
01:44Hi.
01:46No thanks.
01:47Hello.
01:47Greetings Lucinda.
01:48I have two things I want you to taste test.
01:51Hey Maria, do you want to drink this?
01:54Is it alcohol?
01:56What do you think about it?
01:57It tastes like water.
02:00Oh.
02:00Oh Connie.
02:02What's that?
02:03This might help you out a little bit.
02:04Hi.
02:06Try this.
02:09It tastes like water.
02:11Just like water?
02:12Yeah.
02:13I want to know, honestly, if you would rather drink this water or regular water.
02:18Based on taste, probably this because it tastes like peppermint.
02:22That's delicious.
02:23Get out of here.
02:24Goodbye Michael.
02:24Goodbye.
02:25Junk.
02:27I would rather drink this water.
02:28Really?
02:29Yeah.
02:29But it kind of tastes like mouthwash.
02:31So would you prefer drinking this or regular water?
02:34Regular water.
02:35Fantastic.
02:36This garbage is going in the trash.
02:39So what's that?
02:40That's just water.
02:41Okay.
02:41And this is some kind of earthy water.
02:46Do you think it's better for you just because it's green?
02:48Yeah.
02:50It's so easy for me to be negative.
02:53Whether or not drinking this every day is going to save my life.
02:58I'm interested in drinking it occasionally.
03:00Well until we find out that research, I think regular water and chlorophyll can live.
03:04Side by side in tandem.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Cheers.
03:07Cheers.
