Answer 10

Yes, cranberry juice is good for you.  It is an effective fighter against urinary uract infections and heart disease.  However, to reap the health benefits, the juice should be 100% juice with no preservatives, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. Quite often you will find that many brands of cranberry juice are in fact only 30% juice, and not all of it cranberry, with the remainder made from sweeteners and water. You will not be receiving the full spectrum of health benefits and nutrients inherent in 100% pure cranberry juice.

Besides its high mix of natural vitamins and minerals, cranberry juice is also highly effective in the treatment of urinary tract, bladder and kidney infections. Additionally, a healthy dose of dietary fiber, antioxidants and phytochemical nutrients help to protect you against heart disease and cancer.

Rich with Vitamin C, the high amount of acid and other beneficial components in cranberry juice can help break down and prevent the formation of kidney stones.

Detailed Benefits:

Reduced Infections - Drinking cranberry juice is a proven way to treat a bladder infection or urinary tract infection. This is especially helpful for women who suffer from these painful infections during the year.  

Improved Dental Health - Cranberry juice contains bacteria fighting ingredients that can prevent bacteria from attaching to your teeth. This harmful bacteria causes cavities as well as gum disease. What does this mean to you? It means that you can easily find yourself having fewer cavities when you go and see your dentist in the future.

Calcium - Many of the makers of cranberry juice add calcium into their juice that helps strengthen bones and teeth. This is another reason why drinking cranberry juice can help reduce the risk of getting osteoporosis. This is a big concern as you get older in life.

Reduce Risk Of Heart Disease - New scientific studies are showing that drinking cranberry juice can reduce the chances of getting heart disease if you have high cholesterol.

For some, cranberry juice may not have the flavor or taste as they would like. It is a rather tart tasting drink for sure. What is the solution to this problem? Cranberry juice cocktail of course. Like the name implies, cranberry juice cocktail has other types of juices in it such as raspberry or orange among others. What this does is help give the juice a better tasting flavor without the tartness.

You will can find certain brands of cranberry juice at your local grocery store that has already been sweetened with sugar. The only problem with this is that you are adding additional calories and carbohydrates which may not be what you really want.

Answer 11

yes it is.  besides what the others have said, it prevents bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls, thus aiding in the cure for UTI (urinary tract infection)  Some people drink some cranberry juice every day to prevent this condition. The best is the most pure cranberry juice.  Look on the label and stick with what is called "juice' not 'drink'.  also, do not get the cran-apple or any other mixtures, just the real deal works the best.
