Hi Jane,

Welcome to the group. Just so you know he got his info from:

http://www.gillesarbour.com/buckwheatArticle.php

The fagopyrin in buckwheat plants is the cause as it is a potent

phototoxifier.

One should not juice sprouts of any kind. Yes, even wheat grass juice

can have some negative effects if you drink it every day. Eat your

sprouts and juice the veggies and fruits.

I hope that this answers your question. Please feel free to check out

the files and message archives and make yourself at home. I do hope

that you enjoy your stay with us and find all you seek.

Peace be with you Jane.

Actually, just don't juice them. Normally when you juice you use way

more than you would if you just sat down and ate some. It would be okay

to juice too if you only use the amount your would sit down and eat.

Most people don't eat a lot of sprouts. They will only eat so many. But

to juice them is another story. Best to just leave sprouts out of the

juicing equation and eat them instead of drinking them. But yes, eat

them in moderation or maybe better yet, eat the buckwheat unsprouted.
