The study in question divided 319 women with recent urinary tract infections into two groups: half were given cranberry juice to drink twice a day for the next six months;

because the authors had used a lower threshold to definite a urinary tract infection, but authors of the later review assessed it to be important enough to include in their study.

but qualified the findings with a strong word of caution against using the folk remedy as a treatment.

This is especially the case in bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. Motility is actually a really important factor in infection said Nathalie Tufenkji a chemical engineer at Mcgill University.

Cranberry meets Proteus mirabilis After observing E coli's impaired motility after exposure to cranberries Tufenkji tested the cranberry's effect on another bacteria common to urinary tract infections:

or cure urinary tract infections researchers say. Cranberry juice has been touted for at least a century as a remedy for urinary tract infections (UTIS.

Yet doctors remain divided over whether the fruit is truly effective in treating UTIS. The largest analysis to date a review of 24 studies including more than 4400 patients published in 2012 in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews suggests that any positive effect is minimal at best.
