Leaving Eyipantla there were more and more sugar cane fields around us. We tried this plant in Africa as well, it’s sweet and fibrous. It’s a good pastime chewing it, though it’s a bit hard on the teeth.
Due to the modern cultivation technologies sugar is cheap, and it’s a common nutriment here in the Latin world. You see lollipops in the mouth of children and adults as well. But sugar is half-nutriment, half-drug, when one is eating sugar, life turns a bit sweeter too, problems seem to vanish for a moment. Maybe that’s the reason why it’s so popular here.
There was a Russian philosopher, Vladimir Solovyov, who thought that when World Peace comes everyone will stuff their cheeks with sugar. 90% of humanity will become obese and hysteric, the rest will go insane and commit suicide. Sugar creates illusion, who knows, Solovyov might be right.

This is how harmful sugar is for the body: http://www.mercola.com/article/sugar/dangers_of_sugar.htm
Processed white sugar is poison and I am "barely living" proof of these facts. I ingest sugars from the first cup of coffee to my last sip of iced tea at night. So take heed young men and spread the information in Dr. Mercola's article. Mercola is on top of health issues.
I've always wanted to taste raw sugar cane - figuring it was delicious.
Chewing sugarcane strengthens the teeth and gums. It can also cure sore throat and it is great preventive for cold and flue. Sugarcane juice can be an alternative to colas, it can also be enjoyed by diabetics since it does not contain simple sugars. It can be prevention of breast and prostate cancers.
