What are the side effects of aloe vera juice?

Aloe vera juice: I understand your concern about Aloe Vera and side effects. Aloe latex can cause stomach pain and cramps. Long-term use of large amounts of aloe latex might cause diarrhea, kidney problems, blood in the urine, low potassium, muscle weakness, weight loss, and heart disturbances. Taking aloe latex 1 gram per day for several days can be fatal. Please see your Physician.

Yes, esp. if...: Most aloe juice is made from the gel and this is generally safe in moderation. However, some juice contains anthraquinones from the latex near the skin; this is a powerful laxative that can lower potassium and even at times cause hepatitis and kidney problems. Even just the gel can cause allergies in some and may lower blood sugar (good for diabetics). See http://tinyurl.com/zcusu5o for details.
