People who regularly drink cranberry juice or
take cranberry capsules are less likely to get urinary tract
infections, a new review of past evidence suggests. Researchers found
cranberry products seemed especially helpful for women who had trouble
with recurrent UTIs.
Although cranberry juice and capsules are
popular antidotes to the common bacterial infections, researchers
haven't always been sure whether or how they might work. Recent evidence
suggests certain compounds in cranberries — and maybe other berries as
well — might prevent bacteria from attaching to tissue in the urinary
tract, thereby warding off infections.
