    Great Question Julie. :)

    I found this information: 


    How many sweetened dried cranberries do I need to eat to get the same UTI benefits as one 8 oz. glass of cranberry cocktail?


    Read the rest of this article here: http://decascranberry.com/cranberry-facts


    According to leading health researchers, 0.7 oz. of our sweetened dried cranberries is equivalent to an 8 oz. glass of cranberry juice cocktail with 27% juice.


    8. A pilot study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that women with recurring UTIs reported a reduction in UTIs for up to six months after consuming one serving of dried cranberries per day for two weeks.


    3. Cranberries naturally contain the flavonoid, proanthocyanidins (PACs). The unusual structure of the PACs found in cranberries offer bacterial anti-adhesive properties not found in other commonly consumed fruits and vegetables.


    4. The PACs in cranberries may help prevent the adhesion of certain harmful bacteria, including E. coli, that are associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs).

    Terrific answer. So, I should start eating them after I run out of juice? Okay. I sent this all to my sister who’s husband (a doctor) doesn’t put much weight in “natural remedies”…...

    I've noticed people in Scotland (probably all of the UK) use natural remedies for yeast infections. I got a couple of yeast infections soon after I moved here and I had 3 different women, Roy and my doctor tell me to use plain yogurt with live/active cultures and no added fructose or sugar. I thought they were all a bunch of nutters, but I gave it a try because a tub of yogurt is a lot less expensive than the over the counter creams like Monistat 7. Guess what! Not only did it get rid of my infection, but I got relief quicker than I ever had with other over the counter products. I'm sold on using yogurt for a yeast infection cure and I recommend it.
    (Sorry to any man who may have read my comment above. Julie I let you know this because you may want to also share this info with your brother-in-law.)

    Actually, my sister herself told me about yogurt many years ago, I even doubt she remembers. If I could get my brother-in-law to read this, I would send it to him. Thank you for a most useful pack of information any WOMAN will be happy to know…….
