"Many of us know cranberries as a tasty condiment to have with our Christmas
turkey, or the juice that accompanies vodka in a cosmopolitan cocktail. You
might have also heard cranberries prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
While this is often dismissed as a myth, our new review of the evidence shows
consuming cranberry juice or supplements reduces the chance of repeat UTIs for
women, children, and those who are more susceptible to them due to medical
procedures.
But this wasn’t the case for elderly people, pregnant women, or for people with
bladder-emptying problems.
The review didn’t look at the use of cranberry for the treatment of UTI – and
cranberry juice cannot cure a UTI on its own. So, if you do get a UTI make sure
you seek medical care from your GP or other health provider."
