what does cranberry juice do for your body?

It's full of vitamin C, therefore boosting your immune system, and it also flushes out fat pockets, making weight loss easier

well it can make your tongue red...Seriously it is a good source of vitamin c and I understand that it has properties which help to manage cystitis. I think that one of these is that it makes the bladder lining less likely to have bacteria stick to it, so it (bacteria) can't set up home and party in your bladder. As it is such a good source of vit C, over indulgence can result in the runs. Any one else got any comments??

"The first long-term study of its kind -- looking at cranberry juice's effects on cholesterol -- finds that two glasses a day raises levels of HDL "good" cholesterol and lowers levels of high LDL "bad" cholesterol. The study also shows a significant increase in antioxidants in the blood. The study was presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society held in New Orleans this week. Researchers have long suspected that antioxidant-rich cranberry juice may help lower risk of heart disease. However, this is the first study looking at the effects among people drinking the juice. Besides heart disease benefits, previous studies have shown that cranberries can help prevent urinary tract infections and may reduce the risk of gum disease, stomach ulcers, and cancer.

Hey I'm from San Diego i go to U.C.S.D and the thing bout cranberry juice is it is good to clean out your bladder and to keep you from getting e.coli which is known to cause U.T.I which mean's urinary tract infection.Also if you have a drug test it can flush out all that T.H.C. from smoking the weed from your mom's secreet stash.
