Sweet Danger? What Happens When You Drink Too Much Sugarcane Juice

Sugar cane is a natural product consumed by almost all but literally the sweetness that many people use in food and drink. Cane sugar has been in use for quite a long time. You find it in teas, biscuits, and also that sweet juice comes from the sugarcane plant. But cane sugar has even more denied features than its sweetness.



Sucrose is another name for cane sugar. After you eat it, your body turns it into energy right away. There's roughly 16 calories and 4 grams of sugar in one small spoon of cane sugar. Cane sugar is fully empty calorie because it does not contain any protein, fat or fiber.

Not all cane sugar is the same. White sugar is very pure but does not keep much from the plant. Unrefined cane sugar, like jaggery or brown sugar, is less pure. This kind can keep small bits of minerals from the sugarcane plant. These minerals can be calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. There are also tiny bits of some vitamins, like B vitamins. But these are very small amounts.

Cane sugar gives your body energy fast. Your body breaks down the sugar and uses it to give power to your muscles and your brain. If you feel tired, a bit of cane sugar can make you feel better for a short time.

Eating cane sugar can also make you feel happy for a little while. The sugar can help your brain give you a happy feeling. But this does not last and soon you may feel tired again. If you eat too much, you can feel low or sleepy after.

Many people want to know if raw cane sugar is better than white sugar. Raw cane sugar keeps some minerals and has a richer, brown color and different taste. White sugar is clean, plain, and sweet but has no minerals. Raw cane sugar may not make your blood sugar go up quite as fast, but both are very sweet and have a lot of calories. Both should be used only a little.

It is still a raw and unfiltered juice that has been extracted by pressing the sugarcane plant. It is made up of mainly water, a little sugar and some extra minerals over straight cane sugar. This gives the sensation of something much cooler, especially on those uber hot days. Sugarcane will provide water and something called electrolytes which our body wants all the more when it lost it due to sweating or working hard.

This juice also has vitamin C, which can help keep you from getting sick. There are small bits of fiber in the juice that help with digestion.

Some simple good things about cane sugar and juice:

• Fast energy for your body and brain
• A small happy feeling for a short time
• Some minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium (more in the juice than the pure sugar)
• Vitamin C (in the juice)
• Antioxidants that help keep your body healthy (mostly in the juice and unrefined sugar
• The juice can help your body stay hydrated

Long ago, people put sugarcane juice on wounds to help them dry. In some old medicine, cane sugar was used to make bitter medicine taste better. It also helps in baking and in making things like bread rise.

If you have diabetes, you should be very careful with cane sugar and juice. Both can raise your blood sugar. Sugar is not a good food for losing weight. Even though raw cane sugar is a little better than white sugar, they both should be eaten only a little.

Even with some good things, eating too much cane sugar or drinking a lot of sugarcane juice is not good for your health. Too much can make you gain weight, and lead to tooth decay. You can also have problems like heart sickness or diabetes if you eat a lot for a long time. Never use a lot of sugar This whole sugar-refined carbohydrate-saturated fat pathway tells a convincing tale of less fruit or vegetables in the diet.

Cane sugar is for the fast energy and immediate sweetness effect. They are not very beneficial for health, but if you use it a few times and avoid exceeding the valuation. Sugarcane juice is quite good with potassium compared to coconut water, in addition to being a better source of vitamin C.

Such products are not a replacement for a balanced diet. A touch of cane sugar or juice if it helps you eat a nice, balanced meal with fruits, veggies…. OK. Always balance your food and enjoy sweets once in awhile, not everyday.
