Sugarcane juice is extracted from the sugar cane stalk. It is a sweet drink cosisting of 70% water. It is consumed as is or can be added with lime and ginger juice for flavour. It is very widely consumed in tropoical countries. It provides an instant dose of glucose to the body and is very invigorating and refreshing. It has a wide array of nutrients, vitamins and proteins. Unlike white sugar it does not go through artifical processes. In traditional medicine it is consumed for the cure of jaundice i.e. it is very good for the recovery of the liver. It is consumed very widely as a substitute to colas and other aerated drinks. There is carbon dioxide, no caffeine and no added colours or preservatives, and yet it is instantly refreshing. The only negative is that people who have a tendency to catch a cold quickly, should not consume more than a glass a day.
