Article Synopsis
- Cranberry products are popular in North America for preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and have other health benefits.
- Research has identified specific oligosaccharides in cranberries that may enhance the antiadhesion properties of urine, which can help prevent UTIs, though their full effects are still under study.
- Findings suggest that while the isolated compounds from cranberries aren’t harmful, mixtures of these oligosaccharides could be more effective against bacterial adhesion, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the health benefits of a low calorie cranberry beverage on various health markers in overweight adults over an 8-week period.
- Participants consumed either a cranberry extract beverage or a placebo, with blood and urine samples taken to assess changes in glucoregulation, inflammation, and lipid metabolism.
- Results indicated that the cranberry beverage improved antioxidant levels, reduced insulin levels, and increased HDL cholesterol, showing potential in lowering cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Consumption of polyphenol-rich foods is associated with lower risk from many chronic diseases. We hypothesized that a single dose of cranberry beverage would improve indices of oxidative stress, inflammation, and urinary antibacterial adhesion activity in healthy humans. Six males and 6 females (18-35 years; body mass index, 19-25 kg/m(2)) consumed placebo, cranberry leaf extract beverage, or low-calorie cranberry juice cocktail (LCJC) once in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over experimental design trial.
