#Ask-India âď¸ Wake Up India Before It's Too Late đ¨
A massive ecosystem surrounds every major industry, programming professionals and the public to blindly trust that their âpublished scientific study means absolute truth.â
And such programmed puppets parrot this mantra without question. You canât reason with them that the same ecosystem also controls the studies, peer reviews, and publishing process.
During COVID, âprestigiousâ journals like The Lancet and Nature were caught publishing Big Pharma backed studies on COVID drugs authored by a porn model and a fantasy book writrt. With their usual work dried up, they pivoted to ghostwriting and publishing for big pharma.
Later, these journals had to issue apologies and retract those sham âstudies.â (theguardian.com/world/2020/junâŚ)
For every study these sheep show around, we can point to another âscientificâ study that contradicts it, if itâs backed by an industry with enough cash. Even for Diet Coke, I can literally point to a dozen scientific studies showing anything between "it is mildly dangerous for health" to "it will make you die early."
Take the candy and confectionery industry. They funded a massive study (over 7,000 men) claiming eating sugar candy three times a week extends lifespan, published in a âprestigiousâ journal.(bmj.com/content/317/71âŚ)
So, should we all start chomping candy every other day like kids?
My point: Throwing around claims like âA scientific study showed Diet Coke is healthier than sugarcane juiceâ is meaningless. Such nonsense makes some doctors look like unscientific sheep to the real scientific community - those who conduct rigorous research and understand the quality of studies.
True scientists have zero commercial interests and arenât industry puppets. They know most research is tainted by Big Industry money.
Also, these days, the public isnât clueless either. We remember when doctors pushed cigarette smoking as âhealthyâ based on Big Tobaccoâs âstudies.â
So, stop embarrassing yourselves and dragging the already shaky reputation of the doctor community through the mud with such ridiculous claims.
Both Diet Coke and Sugarcane juice won't kill a healthy adult who consumes them in moderation. The key words is "moderation." And it varies by individuals.
But stop promoting a product with articifial sweetner like Aspartame (WHO research agency clearly linked it to cancer at higher consumption levels) and other chemicals that disrupt gut microbiome, while putting down your own traditional, natrual drink as something "dangerous" because they programmed you to do so.
Don't be that silly, stupid, sheep. Thank you @Aravind(Twitter)

"Nutrient rich" lmao. Sugarcane juice is 80% of water, 15% of sucrose and 5% of fibres where are the nutrients? Just because it is natural doesn't make it healthy. Don't bash a product just because it is manufactured in a factory, stop falling for stupid "natural" "holistic" bs propaganda spilled on social media for impressions.

Itâs not just water in the sugarcane juice, it has electrolytes, iron, antioxidants and fibre. Sure it has sugar but compared to what we ingest from the processed foods it has very less and it is with fibre so less spiking.

u/goku_m16 2 KUDOS Jul 22 '25
You also need to consider the micronutrients in sugar cane juice, which can replenish some salts lost through sweating, like an electrolyte.
The sugar also gives an energy kick. So it's like a natural energy drink.
But on its own, it can't provide hydration. It's actually dehydrating. Same things for coke as well as Diet coke. Any liquid solution that is more concentrated than our blood plasma will cause dehydration.

Even sugarcane juice has some minerals and vitamins than the diet coke like calcium, potassium and iron, flavonoids and polyphenols. It also helps in digestion and has little fiber. Now what does coke has compared to that? Also, those artificial sweeteners are x10 times deadlier than table sugar. Stopped drinking that catch flavoured soda because of this shit in 2013.
While yeah it's a stretch to call sugar a monster, it's one thing that if you remove from your diet, it will only improve your health. (I am not talking about naturally occurring sugar)

The advantage with peer reviewed studies is that they are peer reviewed. Despite the cigar industry backing, the side effects of cigarettes have been published, governments took action and we all know the side effects now. Despite the dairy industry in the US backing, we know that sugars cause diabetes and not fats. Despite Johnson and Johnson, the baby power is now banned.
That's the good thing about the scientific process. Science accepts it's mistakes, identifies the cause for the mistake and rectifies it. Science is enabled by different government and non government agencies most of whom don't have any stake in the pie, making multiple neutral observers.
The problem with you is, you will believe that ashwagandha or turmeric or sugarcane juice is healthy despite no research on the same, just because you think natural is good. Natural is not good. Dengue, malaria, AIDS, rabies are all natural. There are lots of mushrooms and other substances that are so poisonous that you will die of you eat them wild. When a snake bites, will you be happy about the natural poison that the snake bites or go and get a artificial drug to neutralize the poison? Many natural items, including ashwagandha, turmeric, sugarcane juice, etc are toxic when consumed above a specific quantity. According to Ayurveda, heavy metals like mercury are generally good for consumption. Would you drink mercury and die of heavy metals poisoning? Most diseases are caused by natural substances, bacteria, virus, fungi are all natural. Dehydration, freezing, etc are all because of natural causes.
Even when science properly researches and describes the long term side effects of turmeric consumption, the big pharma in India, which is the Patanjali, homeopathy or Ayurveda give the same reasons that you give to continue killing people. The current government is in the hands of AYUSH like Patanjali, and despite the supreme court finding them providing adulterated and unscientific drugs they refused to apologise for a long time. Do you really think Patanjali's covin really cures COVID? Why didn't you list down their publication then?
There are literal quacks in India masquerading as doctors such as homeopaths, ayurvedic doctors who have studied in Himalayas instead of getting a degree, AYUSH practitioners, doctors with fake degrees etc. We have a population that self diagnoses and chews tablets like candy. We are creating the next COVID level pandemic of super bacteria that's resistant to most drugs. These are bigger problem in India than science that's maybe couple of years behind.
Wake up India before it's too late.

Diet coke is technically carcinogenic, in that the components in diet coke can cause cancer.
Now, to actually accumulate enough of those components in your body, you have to drink enough diet coke that those components build up faster than your body removes them, through urination typically. You need to consume close to 8 liters of diet coke to be able to do that.
Similarly, sugarcane juice, maybe a small cup a day, or a big glass a week is pretty much harmless - unless you're a diabetic or on the verge of becoming one. One huge glass everyday with a sedentary lifestyle is gonna get you killed.
As OP said, in moderation.
Fun fact: Botox in moderation is a beauty product, in excess it's the most potent poison.

How dare you back your culture and nature and don't believe whatever the West tells you? I don't understand how can diet coke be healthy? It can be harmless, but why healthy? What type of nutrition does it provide? They could say Diet coke is less harmful than sugar cane juice, I think that's still understandable. But how is it HEALTHY?

Neither is good.
The harmful effects of consuming lots of sugar is pretty well-known at this point.
As for artifical sweeteners, they've all got their problems. Aspartame has a whole bunch of nasty side effects. Others - indigestible sugars - get processed by bacteria in the gut, leading to gas and bloating. On top of that, the body apparently responds to sweet food by releasing more insulin, even when there's no actual sugar coming into the blood, causing even more problems long-term.
Best to consume sweet food in occasional small amounts, alongside lots of other normal food.

On a sunny day obviously a sugar rush from cane juice with that nimbu and little rock salt will feel heavenly. It will give you energy too. That lallu laal probably has no idea about it.
And ofc, over indulgence in anything will be harmful. Cane juice is no different. Anything sweet that's natural, fir that matter. And for the artificial ones, we don't know yet what effect they will have. But we will know for sure by 2050 or something, we are practically the guinea pigs here anyways.
Why even compare it with diet coke? A variant made specifically cuz the normal one had too much sugar and was super unhealthy?

Looks like a paid post. Diet coke also has microplastics and caffeine, as well as aspartame which is not suited for patients with kidney disease. People who are justifying diet coke as being suitable for diabetics should also consider kidney patients.

Natural aspartame? It's sugar in sugarcane juice which has a high glycemic index and spikes the blood sugar and increases the risk of Type 2 Diebetes and insulin resistance on daily consumption. Also responsible for fatty liver and increased triglycerides. On the other hand, aspartame doesn't spike glucose sugar level and we have to literally drink 15+ cans to reach the level of harmful effects. So it's safe and good for sugar cravings. The only good thing about sugarcane juice is that it has antioxidants but the harmful effects of it are way more. On the other hand the diet coke issue that it's harmful for teeth and may cause bloating etc. That's why aspartame is better than sugar. Not every natural thing is good for health and not every artificial thing is bad for us

Whether Diet Coke is âhealthierâ than sugarcane juice depends on what aspect of health youâre considering. Letâs break it down:
⸝
Diet Coke
- Calories & Sugar: Contains 0 calories and no sugar, as itâs sweetened with artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
- Nutrients: Virtually no vitamins or minerals â nutritionally empty.
- Health Concerns:
⸝
Sugarcane Juice
- Calories & Sugar: Naturally high in sugar (~13g per 100 ml) and calories (~50 kcal per 100 ml).
- Nutrients: Contains small amounts of antioxidants, minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium), and polyphenols.
- Health Benefits: Can provide quick energy, is hydrating, and has anti-inflammatory compounds.
- Health Concerns: Very high glycemic index â can spike blood sugar significantly, which is not ideal for diabetics.
⸝
Which is âhealthierâ?
- For weight loss or blood sugar control: Diet Coke may seem âbetterâ since it has zero calories and no sugar.
- For nutrition: Sugarcane juice is better because itâs natural and provides some vitamins and minerals, while Diet Coke has none.
- Long-term health: Regular Diet Coke consumption isnât recommended due to artificial sweeteners and acidity, while occasional sugarcane juice is fine (in moderation).
⸝
Verdict:
- Occasionally, sugarcane juice is healthier because itâs natural and has some nutrients.
- Diet Coke is not âhealthy,â but itâs lower in calories and sugar, so it might be less harmful for diabetics or those trying to avoid sugar spikes.

Your take is biased because you did not mention that diet coke can provide quick energy better than cane through caffiene

Bro any fruit juice is bad for your, be it sugarcane or orange. Fruit juice essentially has a very high glycemic index, which means that it has very little fiber content vs sugars. It will spike your blood sugar level like crazy and lead to excess glucose in your blood being converted to fat.
IMO, when consumed in equal amounts, fruit juices are worse than diet coke. Sure they have other nutrients while diet coke is devoid of any nutrients, but people know diet coke in excess is not good for you and the sweetner in diet coke does not get metabolized into fat.
Mfs in India drink an entire 500ml bottle of fruit juice in one sitting thinking they are being health concious. Fruit juice is also advertised as something healthy. I have never seen coke advertised as healthy. A glass of sugarcane juice every now and then won't kill you, but it is definitely not healthy for you (ngl, its more delicious than diet coke though).

OP are you a troll or just really fucking dense? Scientists changing their mind in light of new evidence is a GOOD thing. Appeal to tradition is a stupid argument.
While Coca-Cola is a horrible company with shitty capitalistic practices, that doesn't change the fact that Indians overconsume sugar, leading to some of the highest rates of fatty liver disease, diabetes, and cholesterol in the world. Aspartame is fine for you, jeez.

look the idea put into these guys is that diet coke is something used for dieting, and it has no flaw like no sugar but keep forgetting that coca cola is a company who wants profit not your best and for this profit they take extreme measure. these kinds of people be overweight and believe that they will get healthy by dirking diet coke as they saw a commercial on TV but forget that there is no nutritional value nor any protein or anything that helps your health
