Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I note this is funded by The Cranberry Institute, but I believe other research has been done concerning the health benefits. Cranberry juice may help to combat viruses that cause gut disorders, research suggests. Drinking the juice is already recommended as a way to cut the risk of urinary tract infections. Scientists found adding cranberry juice to intestinal viruses in laboratory conditions blocked their ability to infect intestinal cells. The research, by St Francis College in New York, was presented to the American Society for Microbiology. Intestinal viral infections are responsible for thousands of infant deaths around the world each year, mainly in developing countries. The St Francis team focused on an intestinal virus carried by monkeys called SA-11, and several similar viruses carried by goats. After the viruses were treated with cranberry juice they were unable to infect intestinal cells in the usual way. Disruption The researchers believe cranberry juice might destroy or modify receptor sites on the host cells to which viruses usually bind. Alternatively, it might damage the protein docking mechanism of the virus itself. Researcher Dr Steven Lipson told the BBC News website: " Cranberry juice seems to have an effect on the replication cycle of the virus at an early stage so that it fails to penetrate the host cell. " Dr Lipson said the key might be chemical components of the juice called flavenoids and tannins, both of which have previously been shown to have an anti-bacterial effect. However, the researchers say further research is needed to determine whether drinking cranberry juice alone would be enough to reduce the risk of intestinal infections. Dr Nigel Higson, a GP and chairman of the Primary Care Virology Group, said up to 70% of cases of diarrhoea were caused by viruses, especially among children. " At the moment we have nothing to treat them with, so if drinking cranberry juice might help that would be a good thing, " he said. The study was part-funded by the Cranberry Institute.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I read somewhere that the effects of cranberry juice only last 10 hours so a small gless twice a day is better than a large glass once a day We determined years ago that if we drink it every day we never get a cold or flu but if we drop the habit then we can pick things up so we try to " stick with the program " .
