How does cranberry juice effect urine?

So I went to this doctor when I was little because I kept getting urine infections or something…he gave me other stuff but told my mum to give me heaps of cranberry juice. I was wondering if anyone else has heard anything like this before and if so true or false??? Does it really have an effect on urinary systems…and is it only females or anyone?

Answer #2

Cranberries make urine more acid, as well as make the bladder wall slough off dead cells…along with those cells, bacteria that causes bladder infections is also sloughed off. Crabberry juice works…for both males and females.

Answer #3

Believe it or not, but your doctor is right. Drinking cranberry juice has been proven to help prevent urinary tract infections. It should cranberry juice, not cranberry juice cocktail. Cranberry juice can improve the acidity of the urine, and acid is a natural defense against bacteria. It keeps the bacteria from growing. So drink up~~

Answer #4

A specific ingredient found only in cranberries and blueberries interacts with the little projections on the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria (the most common cause of urinary tract infections), preventing them from sticking to the walls of the bladder and causing infection.
