Health and Healing
Raw whole leaf Aloe vera juice has a yellow color and a bitter taste.
In the early 70's processors discovered that carbon filtration eliminates
Aloe's yellow color and lessons its bitter taste. Unfortunately they have
failed to mention that carbon filtration; strips the plant of its
nutritional value by removing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes,
fatty acids, etc.; greatly reduces Aloes healing effects because it removes
almost all of the plants healing agents, with the exception of Aloe mannose
and lectins.
The agents removed include: Aloin, emodin, B-sitosterol, and
the plants other anti-inflammatory plant sterols, salicylic acid, cinnamonic
acid, phenols, sulfur, urea nitrogen, lupeol, and other hydrochlorides.
While carbon filtered Aloe looks like water it does not taste like it. If it tastes like water, it probably is water.
