SuperFood: Cranberries

Cranberries are a bonafide superfood as the cranberry is one of the top foods scientifically proven to have health benefits.  Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, containing 20% of daily value in one cup.  They also contain fiber and potent disease-fighting antioxidants, which can protect cells from free radicals-- unstable molecules that damage cells.  Cranberries also contain bacteria-blocking compounds (tannins and anthocyonins in particular) that help acidify the urine and prevent E. coli-- the bacteria that causes infections-- from adhering to the urinary tract and bladder cells preventing urinary tract infections!
