Hi Ken..eweee aloe vera is so grose..my brother has a allergy to wheat and he swears that A.V is the greatest thing to keep you healthy. I tried drinking it and it honestly made me feel so nauseated I felt like I was going to throw up. Shawn, my bro also said if you consume more than 1/4 a day it does the reverse affect (makes you sick, gives you the runs, throw up..whatever..lol)
