The apparent truth that aloe vera is Aloe vera
is certainly not true!
42
Many things can and do happen to Aloe
that can effect its quality and the
intended benefits for
YOU!
43
Lets explore events that can happen to make Aloe
less desirable or cause
Aloe to be virtually non-beneficial.
44
It all begins with harvesting!
Processing starts as soon as possible after
leaves are harvested.
45
Long delays could cause the loss of benefits
expected from the timely processing of the
Aloe leaf
46
Each additional processing step can subject
Aloe
to excessive heat and pressure
that can diminish the
benefits of Aloe.
47
The heat applied while processing ensures that
the
Aloe is free from bacterial contamination.

48
It is important to carefully regulate the heat
in order to protect the benefits
expected from
properly processed Aloe.

49
Adding water to Aloe
is a flagrant adulteration
of the product.
50
Aloe is approximately 1/2 of 1 solids,
adding water leaves the door wide open for
unscrupulous manufacturer to
increase their inventory by adding water.
51
Adding water increases their profits while
decreasing the benefits derived from Aloe
with the hope no one will know!
52
Other types of outright adulteration takes
place when
concentrates or powders are produced,
then adding foreign material to extend inventory.
53
Knowingly adding foreign material to extend
inventory is called
Criminal Fraud by the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) If the ingredient is not listed on the
label.
54
Heavy fines and/or imprisonment can be applied
when prosecuted.
So, aloe is not just Aloe because it says so.
Even if it is, will it be effective?
55
Has the Aloe been properly handled from the
field and processed to become
raw material suitable to
supply the
Aloe benefits intended in the finished
products?
