Cranberry juice has long had a reputation for preventing urinary tract infections. These juices have antibiotic properties that may inhibit bacteria within the bladder.


So far it's only been tested against stomach viruses in a lab, using viruses from monkeys and goats. It's not yet known if the beverage would be a remedy for people or which stomach viruses it would target.


Researchers who worked on the study included Patrice Cohen of St. Francis College in New York. They presented their findings in Atlanta at the American Society for Microbiology's 105th General Meetin

Yes! I heard about this on the news. Wouldn't it be
wonderful if cranberry juice could actually prevent our dreaded
fear?!? I never liked the taste of cranberries, but I will sure
get used to it! Carrie
