    Congratulations on promoting that juice. However, according to Ayurvedic treatises Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas, the sugarcane juice should not be taken raw as it causes indigestion due to presence of worms.

    The same goes for sugarcane sugar or gur. Never to be eaten fresh, it should be aged for 1 year.

      Hello Mithilesh,

      Unfortunately, it does not help in weight gain. Sugar cane juice is known to have qualities that reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the body and contains natural sugars. This coupled with the fact that it is high in soluble fibre makes it an ideal drink for losing weight.

      Hope this helps you.

    Informative.
    Adding lime juice and pudina or ginger in tiny quantity goes a far way in weight loss journey.
    Also triphala powder to sugar cane juice is a step closer in weight loss journey.
