"Cranberry juice has been used medicinally for centuries. Our new research
indicates it should be a normal aspect of urinary tract infection (UTI)
management today.

While some benefits of cranberry compounds for the prevention of UTIs have been
suspected for some time, it hasn’t been clear whether the benefits from
cranberry juice were simply from drinking more fluid, or something in the fruit
itself.

For our study, published this week, we combined and collectively assessed 3,091
participants across more than 20 clinical trials.

Our analysis indicates that increasing liquids reduces the rate of UTIs
compared with no treatment, but cranberry in liquid form is even better at
reducing UTIs and antibiotic use."
