| when you are travelling out its recommended that you don't take sugarcane juice, because sugar content tends to absorb water and thus dehydrates body. In clear contrast of this, common salt helps retain water content of body coz of the presence of Na , sodium. I love sugarcane juice tho, can't resists drinking it. But usually i settle for lemon juice, and i feel its best next only to buttermilk. |

Rep Power: 1 | Sugarcane juice is very very healthy and good but avoid having it with ice. Generally most infections happen due to contaminated ice. |
