New research suggests that cranberry juice can be as effective as probiotics in maintaining good digestive health. The double-blind trial at the University of Chile found a regular 6.8-ounce serving of 25% cranberry juice was as effective as the probiotic studied in suppressing growth of H. pylori among asymptomatic children.
H. Pylori is thought to be present in up to 75% of the world’s population. As probiotics and cranberry inhibit H. pylori with natural mechanisms, they reduce the risk of side effects linked to antibiotics and help support a healthy balance of bacteria. The unique A-type proanthocyanidins found in cranberries help stop bad bacteria from sticking to cells in the body. This anti-adhesion effect may allow the cranberry to help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs), gastrointestinal infections, gum disease and stomach ulcers formed by various pathogenic bacteria, including H. Pylori.
