Comments on Adam's review of Cranberries - A Natural Antibiotic
Cranberries - A Natural Antibiotic
Description: This Thanksgiving, as you chow down on that large dollop of cranberry sauce next to the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, you may be increasing your resistance to infection too.
Cranberries for Everyone!
I love cranberry juice - it is so tart and delicious! However, I have started avoiding store bought cranberry juice because since cranberries are so tart, it was only about 23% cranberry juice and the rest a mixture of sugar and water to try and make it appealing to "the masses."
I went out and bought a jar of pure cranberry juice and I must admit, the taste was a little too much for me. My crazy roommate loved it, but my face just puckered up every time i tried. Then i figured out a solution.
I take a cup and pour about a 1/4 cup of cranberry juice into it, then fill up the rest with water. I still get all the detoxifying benefits of cranberry juice this way (pure cranberry juice is so concentrated you barely need any at all) and this way not only was i forcing the stuff down, but it actually made my regular water taste better. I highly recommend this - I've got most of my office doing it now.

Adam, try and mixing the pure extract down with mineral water or carbonated water...you can also add a little sweetener in the form of honey if you like. It's a great substitute for soda for kids also. You can do this with any fruit extract you buy in pure form. Also, anyone with a UTI (urinary tract infection) can cure it with cranberry extract over several days...it totally works, no antibiotics necessary!

MMM - a little local honey or agave nectar? Making me thirsty just thinking about it...
