Today at Sunflower (One of my favorite organic stores, Whole Foods is often too expensive, and while I like Sprouts, Sunflower is closer) I noticed something on sale:
Aloe Vera Juice.
Now, as a Native Arizona, Aloe plants are such a common sight. And of course, I remember breaking them and putting the goo on my sunburns to see "If it really worked."
Today, Aloe Vera is still used in many cosmetic and conventional medication. But..as a juice? I have never heard of that.
It seems that the idea of Aloe is it's wonderful constipation remedy! :)
But I always here "digestion this" "detox that" ect ect...and I am starting to think it isn't really true (Or in complete TMI I have a colon of steel)
But I did find some that said it helped blood sugar. I have to say...I am tempted.
Maybe I am a sucker for all these bogus ideas right?! But it is actually very cheap, and I think what is the harm of adding 2oz a day?!
I'll sit on it :)
