Cranberry juice health benefits

Cranberry juice has been in the new a lot recently. And why? Well it seems to be very effective at helping to prevent and clearing up Urinary Tract infections. How does it work? The latest studies seem to suggest it actually stops bacteria from sticking onto your internal organs so they slide out.That is a new to me. It is something I love but had cut back when a friend, also overweight , was told by her Dr to stay off it as it was bad for her heart. Perhaps I will put it back on my shopping list.

Just typical! There's so much conflicting advice about everything these days! A biologist friend of mine reckons that much medical research can be shown to be flawed for one reason or another. It's very hard for the lay person to sort out what's what. Actually it's probably just as hard for doctors! To refer back to the topic in hand my work collegue swears by cranberry juice for her cystitus, she finds it very effective. (Linda)
