Cranberries: scientific studies*
Scientific studies show that cranberries anthocyanins have many health benefits, including:
​
-
protecting against bacterial infections in the urinary system and preventing bacterias from seizing into bladder walls (1-6)
-
preventing the formation of alkaline stones in the urinary tract by working against bacterial-infections
-
preventing the development of cavities in teeth in a way similar to the action in preventing urinary tract infections
-
fighting oxydative stress (7)
-
displaying anti-proliferative activity against several types of cancer in vitro and in vivo, including gastric cancer (8) and esophageal adenocarcinoma. (9)
-
fending off ulcers by preventing helicobacter pylori, the bacterium which causes peptic ulcers, from adhering to the stomach lining. (10,11)
-
lowering bad cholesterol levels and increasing good cholesterol levels in the blood.
