CRANBERRIES, THE WHOLE STORY
The beautiful cranberry is very high in antioxidants which you know help with free radicals in your body, but they are also high in proanthocyanidins referred to as pac's. Pac's help to prevent certain bacteria from sticking inside the body. Cranberries pac's are more powerful than what you would find in other fruits.
Although cranberries are very healthy they are high in oxalate's. Oxalate's are a substance found naturally in some foods that if they are too concentrated in the body can crystallize and cause problems for people with kidney and or gall bladder problems. If you have these health problems you should probably avoid cranberries.
