With Thanksgiving right around the corner many of us will soon be adding cranberries to our grocery list. Although cranberry sauce is an important part of the traditional holiday feast, new research could motivate you to eat cranberries all year round. A review of 13 studies published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found women prone to urinary tract infections appeared to reduce the frequency of them by consuming cranberries. The researchers say cranberry-containing products may protect against UTIs in certain populations. Drinking cranberry juice a few times a day worked well for the study subjects but some health experts say you can get the same benefits by popping a 500-milligram cranberry tablet twice a day.
