Cranberries that can be functional for ailments and complaints, the Indians knew centuries ago. Science is discovering more and more, that does not involve so-called Indian stories, but the hard reality.
Already ten's of years ago by several universities discovered that the unique tannin compound,antioxidants and low pH are the best means to fight bladder and kidney inflammation. Many people can testify that after many years of antibiotics, cranberry is an ultimate solution.
Scientific research
The skepticism of the mainstream medical world increasingly turns, as evidenced by recent comments in response to a global conference in London. Here is a brief report of the remarkable outcomes of this symposium. So it was noticeable that there are 10studies in Israel, the United States, Finland and England. In these countries is the acceptance of Cranberry as a Orthomolecular medicine much further than in the Netherlands, which has to do with, among others, the protection policy of regular drug industry. According tot the NIH (National Institutes of Health), the enormous research institute of the U.S. government, based on studies performed the Cranberry can have an important role against complaints about the urinary system.
This view was reinforced by the firm conviction of Dr. Ruth Jepson of the University of Edinburgh. She said that the studies and conclusions increasingly more and more confirm that cranberry juice is a solution.
Prevention of urinary tract infections and bladder infections.
In this context, the Finnish study, led by Dr. Tero Kontiotari , which consisted of testing with different groups of women. It was obvious that by far the best results were achieved, at the group of women who regularly drank pure cranberry juice.
Worldwide many studies and research are still taking place, in Japan is tried, with different capsules, to analyze the effect of Cranberries and Rutgers University in New Jersey examines the bio active Cranberry metabolites, in other words, how much is needed to combat certain ailments.
The urologist Dr. Kenelhoeck from Maastricht is also endorses the use of cranberry juice on urinary tract infections. The declaration of the effectiveness of the Cranberry is always found in the proanthocyaniden, it prevented the adhesion of E. coli.
Conclusion, drinking enough cranberry juice every day may prevent urinary tract infections and bladder infections.
Pure juice works best
For the record it should be noted that this is pure undiluted cranberry juice. There appear many products on the market that refer to the Cranberry, but looking at the ingredients, the dosage Cranberry is so low, that obviously there can be hardly any effect. (JuicePlus+® is a whole food based nutritional supplement consisting of powder concentrates from Cranberry and 25 other fruits, vegetables and berries and has the same qualities as the juice of these 26 species. (Ed. Rotation)).
Other studies made it clear that the bacterial inhibitory properties of the Cranberry of great significance in the treatment against the Helocobacterpylori, it is always present in gastric ulcers, this bacteria is also associated with other gastric complaints and gastric lymphoma. Dr. Kang of the University of California thinks that cranberry juice here also can be a good contribution. Also the oral hygiene benefit greatly when using cranberry juice. The mouth rinse decreases the growth of bacteria in the mouth, less streptococci and a decrease in plaque.
The British Dr. Mokbel is very excited about the anti tumor components which in the Cranberry occur. This is especially the flavonalglycomden, the proanthcyaniden and polyphenols. He sees in these substances an important role in the treatment of painful mammary gland(mastalgia). A daily intake of 2 x 250 ml would give results.
Prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Roger Corder of the William Hanery Research Institute in London,published his findings which showed that both red wine and cranberry juice a have constructive function in the blood vessels, all this was supported by Dr. James Stubbs of the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen.
According to him, cranberry juice contains Salicylic acid,which is a major metabolite of aspirin. He immediately announced a new research namely the prevention of colon cancer.
Nutritional
That besides all these medical findings, the nutritional value of the Cranberry is very high is obvious. The fiber-rich fruit represents a high positive nutritional value. The nutritional and health aspects are complemented by the high Vitamin C content.
