Aloe vera is often regarded as a holy grail for beauty and liver health, but be cautious—not all types of aloe vera are edible, and especially not when consumed with the skin. A 60-year-old man had to undergo dialysis after drinking aloe vera juice with the skin for two consecutive months.
A 60-year-old man, in an attempt to treat liver cirrhosis, consumed aloe vera juice with the skin for two months. Not only did he suffer from severe diarrhea, but his uremic toxin levels were also ten times higher than normal. By the time he was hospitalized, he was already in a state of collapse. If the skin is not removed, the so-called aloin in the skin can cause diarrhea. It has been discovered that the toxicity is highest in the skin. Look at the yellow sap oozing from the aloe vera skin—this is the toxic aloin. Long-term consumption can lead to kidney failure and the need for long-term dialysis. So, how should aloe vera be consumed safely? Experts advise: remove the skin and use only the flesh, ensuring no skin remains. Not only should you use a knife to peel the skin, but you should also carefully select the type of aloe vera. Currently, only five types of aloe vera are edible, including Aloe vera var. chinensis, Aloe barbadensis, and Aloe africana. Consumers should purchase aloe vera from agricultural associations or reputable stores and avoid picking wild aloe vera to prevent poisoning and harm to the body.
