Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sugarcane fiber—also known as bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing—has been explored in scientific research for potential health benefits, including its role in weight management. Sugarcane fiber is a type of insoluble dietary fiber, which is known to contribute to feelings of fullness (satiety), reduce overall calorie intake, and promote gastrointestinal health. Some animal and limited human studies have shown that dietary fiber from various sources, including sugarcane, can modestly reduce appetite and improve bowel regularity, which may indirectly support weight loss efforts when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

However, the specific evidence for sugarcane fiber itself as a weight loss aid is limited. Most scientific validation comes from broader studies on dietary fiber rather than sugarcane fiber exclusively. The mechanism is thought to be similar to other insoluble fibers: increasing stool bulk, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting a sense of satiety. No large-scale, high-quality clinical trials have directly established sugarcane fiber as an effective standalone intervention for weight loss. Therefore, while there is a scientific rationale and some preliminary research, the strength of evidence supporting sugarcane fiber for weight loss is modest, and it should not be considered a primary treatment. More research is needed to confirm specific benefits and optimal dosages.
