1.  [Microgreens for Skin, Hair and Detox: What the Evidence Shows](https://microgreensguru.com/blog/microgreens-skin-hair-and-detox/): The wheatgrass detox claim traces to one person in 1955, not to a study. There are five human wheatgrass trials, they are about colitis and thalassemia, and the two largest were negative.
2.  [Microgreens and the Thyroid: How Much Would You Actually Have to Eat?](https://microgreensguru.com/blog/microgreens-and-the-thyroid/): The one human dose threshold is 194 micromoles of goitrin. Reaching it takes about 110 g of a high-progoitrin kale or 1.94 kg of commercial broccoli, which is about 7 garnishes against 129.
3.  [Microgreens and Allergies: Four Crops Are Regulated Allergens](https://microgreensguru.com/blog/microgreens-and-allergies/): Sesame, mustard, buckwheat and celery are all grown as microgreens and all carry allergen labeling law somewhere. And not one published case report names a cut microgreen as the food eaten.
