According to a new study out of Taiwan, cranberry products may help to prevent certain infections.

Researchers analyzed data from 10 clinical trials looking at cranberry products and their effect on urinary tract infections (UTI’s).

They found that women who drank cranberry juice, or ate cranberries more than twice a day were more than 30% less likely to get an infection.

Cranberries have long been a folk remedy for urinary tract infections , and researchers say these results are encouraging, but more testing is needed.
