That article mentioned NOTHING of the use of aloe as a drink.
It was an article about the use of aloe as a toothpaste
The guy you were trying to convince already admitted to it being a topical.

Right there. They eat alot of nastiest in Asia, like snake penis. I'm not following those trends. Maybe I'm intolerant, but if your culture has tiny dog or snake penis on the menu, I'd denounce it and move far, far away.(ban me China, I'll only grow stronger and controll your masses) jk on all counts, though I dunno if I could resist stabbing a dog eater through the face. It's prolly a refreshing drink though, but the rainbow unicorn farts still stand.

Maybe my prejudice comes from eating that aloe goo. In retrospect, even that was better then coconut milk

I'll stick with tea. Obscure news articles on the internet are good enough to pull questionable facts from for conversation and school work, I'm weary about the net though. Too much fad food and diet. I mean, ma ate bacon all the time on Atkins. I'd rather have a link to scientific literature. I don't doubt it's safe in reality(though I'm tired, so my posts are turning to mush), though the benefits could easily be misconstrued. Second hand info is only good in the hands of a professional.

Aloe? YYYYYEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH That shit is BITTER, and I know, they grow EVERYWHERE where I live... (Mossel Bay South Africa)

Actually, the drinks are not bitter at all.  Kinda tastes like a really smooth grape juice.  in fact I was convinced it was grape flavored aloe, but the ingredients told me different.

Just give it a try you will see.

EDIT: and centre, it has sugar and citric acid in it.
