Cranberries are long known for beneficial effects on UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). Diabetic and immunosuppressed patients (after kidney or heart transplant) are more susceptible to recurrent UTI problems, women much more then men.
Recent animal study conducted by University of Wisconsin-Madison indicates they may be good for heart too.
Early results from studies indicate that feeding cranberry juice powder seems to relax and open blood vessels in pigs that are genetically susceptible to developing atherosclerosis, or clogged arteries.
