Why is cranberry juice effective in fighting urinary-tract infections? Dr. Kathryn Schrotenboer, writing in Family Circle, explains that it was formerly thought that the chief effect was to inhibit the growth of bacteria by acidifying the urine. However, studies at the Youngstown State University in Ohio have shown that, in addition, it actually prevents bacteria from affixing itself to urinary-tract tissue. While its healing properties may not be as effective as antibiotics in cases of acute infection, microbiologist A. E. Sobota claims that drinking 12 to 15 ounces (0.3 to 0.4 L) of juice daily will help to “wash out” bacteria in the urine. In support of Sobota’s findings, Dr. Schrotenboer suggests that drinking two or three glasses of cranberry juice a day “may ward off recurrent attacks of cystitis.”
