Cranberry  ( Vaccinium macrocarpon)  has been used as both a food and a medicine for centuries. It is native to North America and was used by Native Americans to treat bladder and kidney diseases. Early settlers from England learned to use the berry both raw and cooked for many ailments, including appetite loss, digestive problems, blood disorders and scurvy (vitamin C deficiency).

Cranberry is best known as a preventive treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs), commonly caused by bacteria known as  Escherichia coli (E. coli). Originally, scientists thought cranberry worked by making urine acidic enough to kill the bacteria. Now, studies show that cranberry actually prevents bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract.

Cranberry juice  is known to have various health benefits.  These include:

• Cranberry juice contains phytochemicals, which may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.
• Cranberry juice is high in oxalate, and has been suggested to increase the risk for developing kidney stones, although more recent studies have indicated it may lower the risk.
