The Whole Truth About "Whole Leaf".

The outer rind of the leaf has been found to have essentially no significant nutritional value.

The outer rind of the leaf (thus the name of products with the rind included, "whole leaf") is essentially "filler". This raises the question, "Why pay for what is essentially filler?" Think of it in terms of an orange juice company putting the orange rind in their juice, just because it too may have some smaller amounts of nutrients.

Orange rind may indeed have some small degree nutrients, but the inner juice and pulp is better still. Which would you pick, orange juice as you now know it, or orange juice with the rind blended in?

Mostly, "pulverizing" the outer rind with the inner gel is simply quicker, easier, and much cheaper to make. Slick marketing even makes you think you should pay more for it. The process of removing the outer rind may take more time, but you - the customer - benefit from this extra care and attention to what is best for you.

Harmful "Latex"

Also, there is a yellow latex-like substance just under the outer rind that can cause a number of trips to the bathroom, needlessly. If you suffer from IBS or other bowel and digestive disorders, this can be very painful and possibly harmful.

You must have a drink that TOTALLY excludes the outer rind and latex layer just underneath the rind, to give you only the pure, nutrient-rich gel inside.

The inner GEL of the leaf is exceptionally nutritious with a legion of benefits. Drinks and skin care products (including cosmetics) made from Aloe are best when made from only the inner gel. For information on such highly recommended, pure Aloe Gel drinks, click here
