The fibers in sugar cane are pretty tough. No matter how much I chewed, I could never get the fibers small enough that my body/mind would allow me to swallow them.

As for the juice, I have had sugar cane juice. It is quite concentrated, and packs quite a sugar hit. Given that this juice has zero fiber, my guess is that it would wreak havoc on many people's (even fruitarians) blood sugar. In whole fruits, the soluble fibers in the fruit slow down the release of sugar from the digestive system into the blood stream.

When I was in Florida we chewed the cane a spit out the fibers.

We also drank the juice. SCJ with ginger and lemon became an outstanding favourite of mine, so much so I looked into buying cane specific juicer.

Never blood sugar problems, just pure clean stable energy.

Go to www.mercola.com and put sugar in his search engine and read all of his articles that he personally researched. You will be amazed and hopefully this will help you.
