So this one turns out there is some scientific research behind it because of the compounds in cranberries that can help
Stop bacteria attaching to the lining of the urinary tract, which makes infections less likely to develop.
So it's not that they can prevent it completely, but there's some elements.
But you'd have to have so much cranberry juice and also the quality of cranberry juice.
In fact, more research studies have suggested that it's these specific compounds that may help antibiotics do their job more effectively, too, and slow the development of antibiotic resistance bacteria.
But that is very, it's not robust data yet.
But earlier this month, the scientists from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, is that in French?
Yeah.
Love your French this morning.
French people won't.
Anyone listening will know that was diabolical.
They found cranberry compounds appeared to help bacteria absorb more of the antibiotic phosphomycin, which is commonly... Phosphomycin, I think.
Phosphomycin.
I would say mycin, but maybe mycin.
Maybe I'm wrong.
No, I think you're probably correct, knowing my pronunciation this morning.
which is commonly prescribed for UTIs.
But actually, now there is a supplement that in the nutrition world, I'm just looking now, we look up.
