What makes cranberries so awesome?
Fights UTI: Cranberries are strongly acidic and they contain a chemical compound that gives them their bacteriafighting punch. This compound is called proanthocyanidins (PACs). It helps prevent UTIs as the special structure of PACs acts as a barrier to bacteria, which latch on the walls of your urinary bladder, causing UTIs.
