When I came to Israel I would buy sometimes sugarcane in Jericho…..gone are the days. You hardly can find this now on the Israeli market. Sugarcane also seems to contain trace amounts of lithium which may [ ?] explain the good feeling after eating it, except for the nice sweet taste.
Pure sugar is quite detrimental as every “child” knows by now [it also rubs us of very important minerals like chromium etc]
