Berry good
Antioxidant-rich cranberries may be one of the healthiest foods, according to analysis of a series of studies which shows they can stop urinary tract infections, prevent plaque build-up on teeth and kill a virus that causes stomach cancer and ulcers. The analysis by Rutgers University researchers has found preliminary evidence that extracts from cranberries or the juice can boost levels of so-called good cholesterol and prevent some tumours from forming. Studies are under way into the possible effects of cranberries on heart disease, yeast and viral infections and strokes, AP reports.
