Cranberries UTI treament part

Cranberries have been clinically proven (in 13+ studies!) to reduce UTI incidence. Cranberries contain an ingredient called A Type Proanthocyanidins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_type_proanthocyanidin) that adhere to E Coli and prevent it from attaching to the urinary tract. No comparable evidence behind D Mannose, blueberries or herbs exist. The problem with cranberries is that the juice has sooooo many calories and with the pills - you never know what you are going to get. My best advice is to buy some 100% cranberry juice from the natural food store and dilute it with 3 parts H20. Add a spoon of sugar and drink 2-3 X per day to turn your urinary tract into a bacteria-fighting machine. Check out this resource for UTI info: drinkyoutea.com/blog
