The fact is that drinking one can of soda per day can increase the risk developing type-2 diabetes by 22 per cent.
No beverage stands a chance to compete with sugarcane juice as it is loaded with abundant carbohydrates, proteins, minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and potassium, and vitamins A, B-complex, and C.
Sugarcane juice has low glycemic index due to the presence of complex sugars and hence good for even diabetic population. The nutrients of this juice strengthen liver, which is useful during jaundice.
Unlike other sweet drinks, which hurt teeth, sugarcane contains a host of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which help build your teeth enamel.

That's sad , all beverage companies should look this good aspect of the fruit. If they can globalise all the beverages with soda, why not sugar cane?

Good. Also You can either eat pieces of sugarcane or drink a glass of sugarcane juice topped with mint, ginger, and black rock salt.

. You are certainly right : for sugar like for salt, what is bad is the refining process that removes all other minerals.

To be clear, soft drink intake is not a unique risk factor for type-2 diabetes. Real-world evidence from the CDC shows that obesity and diabetes rates have been going up for years while soda consumption has been going down. Moreover the CDC has determined that obesity and diabetes are complex conditions with many contributing factors.
With that said, America's beverage companies are committed to being part of real solutions to public health challenges on a national scale through the Balance Calories Initiative, which aims to reduce sugar and calories consumed from beverages across America. We also support clear and understandable nutrition facts about foods and beverages and have voluntarily placed clear calorie labels on the front of the bottles and cans we produce.
