Using cranberries to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) goes back at least as far as the Native American Indians, but now there is solid scientific evidence to go with this traditional remedy.
UTIs can be incredibly painful and. If untreated, it can move to the kidneys and cause further complications, including sepsis in some rare cases. While most common in women, UTIs can also affect men and children.
"The studies we looked at included a range of methods to determine the benefits of cranberry products,""The vast majority compared cranberry products with a placebo or no treatment for UTI and determined drinking cranberries as a juice or taking capsules reduced the number of UTIs in women with recurrent cases, in children and in people susceptible to UTIs following medical interventions such as bladder radiotherapy.
Only a few people across the studies reported side effects, with stomach pain being the most common. However, there are gaps in the data: Very few trials compared cranberry products directly to antibiotics or probiotics alone, for example, and these treatments may be as effective as the fruit.
