Further health explanation of what cranberries do:
Cranberries contains natural chemicals that act as antibacterial agents and preventing E. Coli which is the bacteria largely responsible for urinary tract infections, from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract.
The chemicals in cranberry juice flush the E. Coli from the body during urination thus it is not able to cause an infection.
Cranberries contain quinic acid which prevents calcium and specific phosphate chemicals from binding together. These two binding together is what forms kidney stones thus preventing kidney stones.
Sugar and cranberries:
1 cup of fresh cranberries contains about 50 calories.
1 cup of cranberry sauce with sugar contains over 400 calories.
Recipes With Cranberries:
- Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce: Nothing but goodness and health benefits.
- Cranberry Ginger Bars: Anything with ginger tastes great but this combination is even better!
- Cranberry-Celery-Onion Stuffing: Another great combo.
- Add cranberries to your fruit punch for more punch to your punch.

Brenda T,there is nothing wrong with dried cranberries. Many health food stores sell them and they are not filled with parasites.
Looks wonderful, cranberries are so beneficial in many ways.
ok, cranberry juice seems nice idea
Brenda, no. They are full of parasite eggs.
Beware of the echinococcus! It's one of the most dangerous parasites!
I love cranberries
I suffer from chronic bladder infections and before I discovered Lady Soma's Cranberry Supplements, I was at the doctor's office about every 3 months. I have been taking the Lady Soma Cranberry every day for about 6 months now and I have not had to go back to the doctor.
I'm allergic to raisins/grapes, so I use dried cranberries in their place and love them in salads.
Just be sure to buy organic ones!
Are dried cranberries good?
