How does cranberry juice help in the case of urinary infections?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Let me try : Some studies show that certain antioxidants in cranberries change the bacteria so that they can't stick to the urinary tract. Another idea is that cranberries create a teflon-like slippery coating on the urinary tract walls that prevents e. Coli from getting a good grip.

Possible prevention: - not treatment. Cranberry juice can help to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI's) in women with recurrent UTI's because of the proanthyocyanidins (PACs) it contains.
