DENTAL HEALTH - This same "anti-adhesion" property prevents bacteria from forming in the mouth. They might reduce the formation of harmful plaque that leads to gum disease.
HEART HEALTH - Cranberry juice can reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and raise levels of good (HDL) cholesterol in the blood.
ANTI-CANCER - Certain compounds in the fruit have been found to inhibit the formation of cancer cells.
