Suck in some air around you. Go ahead, get a lungful or two.
Practically all of the oxygen you're breathing in has been created as a waste product by plants using chlorophyll in photosynthesis to create food. Chlorophyll is nature's own solar power collector.
So really, something so natural and necessary to your life, you wouldn't be surprised to find out it can do more amazing things, right?
During the fifties people discovered chorophyll's power to deoderize everything. From bad breath, to foot odor, even the rest of your body; there was a powder, soap or foam to make use of chlorophyll's amazing properties.
That is until "The Journal of the American Medical Association" made note of the fact that mountain goats lived excusively on a chlorophyll-rich diet.
You ever smell a goat? Ever get close enough for a whiff of billy-goat breath?
Needless to say, after that, the fad disappeared.
Or did it?
What the...? "...chlorophyll is chemically similar in composition to that of human blood, except that the central atom in chlorophyll is magnesium,..."
Are they nuts? Chlorophyll is an electron donator; Hemoglobin is a oxygen transporter! They don't even work the same!
For crying out loud...
Woo-woo science - 1; my faith in humanity - 0

That is odd and horrible all at the same time.
