"Acemannan has been misinterpreted," Meadows said. "The cosmetics industry requires highly processed aloe. How that affects acemannan is anybody’s guess."

Even the cosmetics industry admits that they don't have a clue (not even a guess) about what happens to Aloe after it's been processed for inclusion into their products, so it may not have any of the original properties. (acemannan makes up about 15% of aloe)



And if it doesn't contain any after it's processed then it's not an Aloe product anymore.
