Shahid Kapoor's Nutritionist Explains Why Sugarcane Juice May Not Be A Safe Drink

In an Instagram post on April 18, Ryan Fernando, Celebrity Nutritionist, explains why sugarcane may be doing more harm than good, despite its potential health benefits.

The nutritionist, who has previously worked with Shahid Kapoor and many other celebrities, explains that sugarcane contains fast-digesting carbs like sucrose, glucose, and fructose, and is also high in potassium.

But one glass of sugarcane juice can contain up to 8 teaspoons of sugar. Therefore, it's not advisable to drink multiple glasses, especially if you're diabetic.

• Palm jaggery
• Raw honey
• Dates or pure Date syrup
• Stevia
