Sit in a group of woman, and mention UTI’s over the past 30 years and someone will say to drink cranberry juice and not just a little, a lot of cranberry juice.
It is folklore that has been debunked by a study that was publish in JAMA.
The study was conducted on 185 woman residing nursing home for a year. Among older women living in nursing homes, cranberry capsules, compared with placebo, did not have a significant effect on the presence of bacteriuria plus pyuria (UTI’s) over 1 year.
