Cranberry Juice to the
Rescue
Cranberry juice is well-known as a
weapon to fight urinary tract infections.
But how about as cavity-fighter for your
teeth? A new study has shown that
cranberry juice may reduce the ability of
cavity-causing bacteria to stick to your
teeth, resulting in less cavities.
“Scientists believe that one of the main
ways that cranberries prevent urinary
tract infections is by inhibiting the adherence of pathogens on the surface of the
bladder. Perhaps the same is true in the
mouth, where bacteria use adhesion molecules to hold onto teeth,” Hyun (Michel)

Before you reach for that tall glass of the
red miracle liquid, it’s important to keep
in mind that cranberry juice, like most
other fruit juices, contains a notable
amount of sugar. (Sugar is a major cause
of tooth decay.) Koo recommends the
usual methods to battle tooth decay. So
brush your teeth after meals, try to avoid
sugary foods, and be sure to visit your
dentist for regular checkups.
