Don't expect miracles from sugarcane juice

LIFESTYLE. .

Have you started the habit of drinking the sugarcane juice on the premise that the sweet liquid squeezed from sugarcane will help in anyway to cure diseases like jaundice, help in fighting breast and prostate cancer, maintaining normal kidney function and providing strength to the heart, eyes and the brain?

If you are already on the juice, read on. Scientific studies suggest that all these claims are baseless. 'No studies have proven these health benefits of sugarcane juice', said Roger Clemens, professor of pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences at the USC in the United States about the purported miracle properties of raw cane juice.

I have been working in this field for 40 years, and I have never seen any evidence for any of this, Roger said when asked whether raw cane juice could help soothe a sore throat or energise the body. What about so-called alkalising properties that can help fight breast and prostate cancer? 'Nothing in science backs it up', he said.

There is a difference between nutritionally rich and calorically rich. The bottom line is there isn’t any scientific evidence to support these purported claims.

So, drink raw cane juice if you like the taste, but don’t expect miracles.
