New research has revealed that cranberry juice can help reduce recurrences of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. The results, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, show that the cranberry’s well-documented role in preventing recurrent UTIs in adult women also has the potential to benefit younger patients.
 
The study carried out by a group of Finnish researchers found that, compared to placebo, regular drinking of cranberry juice limited the number of UTI recurrences in children by 43% and reduced the need for antibiotics to be taken by 34%—the equivalent of six days per patient a year.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included 129 children who were being treated for UTIs and selected to drink Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic cranberry juice for six months, while 134 others received a placebo in its place. The two groups were monitored for 12 months and the consumption of juice and daily symptoms were recorded by the children’s parents. For further information: www.oceansprayitg.com
