First it was grapefruit, now cranberry producers are making claims regarding the ulcer-fighting properties of their product.
Recent research from a clinical study has shown that people who drink cranberry cocktail twice a day are three times more likely to suppress the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers than those who do not.
With approximately 80 percent of stomach ulcers caused by bacteria, this study suggests that drinking a cranberry cocktail daily could help reduce infection that can lead to ulcers.
The news adds to the cranberry’s already strong health credentials, with a key beneficial attribute being its ability to promote urinary tract health.
“This study reinforces what previous research has shown about the unique role that the powerful little cranberry plays in helping people live healthier lives," said Rose Luciano, marketing director at Ocean Spray International Services. "For more than 60 years, Ocean Spray has been researching the cranberry to unlock the fruit's many health benefits."
