Hi

After recent BBC and TimesOnline news articles saying how beneficial Aloe
Vera is I have been trying to find an organic, chemical free supplier.

I have found one that says they use lemon juice to stabilise their product
but another manufacturer, (who uses chemicals) says that's impossible
because as soon as you cut it starts going off. They say it must have been
heated which destroys most of the nutrients any way.

I would value some unbiased scientific opinions (preferable in layman's
terms if possible) on the validity of these statements.

Hopefully this is the appropriate group to ask.

Thanks for any input given

What is it supposed to be good for now? Before you accept the story, find a more reliable
source than TV or newspapers.

You are already lost. It makes no difference where you arrive.
Crocodile dung mixed with ass's milk is miraculous - and that goes all
the way back to pharonic Egypt.

All matter is a chemical composition, git, from mud on your brogans to
poison ivy to food wrap.

It grows like a weed. You can have it fresh if you want it.

That answers the question of what (at least one source) is now claiming as a benefit of
aloe vera. It doesn't tell me if the claims are valid. The peddlers of food additives
are hardly unbiased.
