Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a limited number of studies, there was evidence that women who drank cranberry juice had fewer UTIs than women who did not. Dried cranberries and other products containing cranberries were not effective. Cranberry juice should be used along with adequate fluid intake and proper personal hygiene to prevent UTIs. Sweeteners used in juice have not been shown to contribute to UTI development.
