Cranberries are super foods for the urinary tract, and now there's another good reason to eat them: They help fight cancer!
I never drink the Ocean Spray kind, or anything labeled "Cranberry Juice Cocktail" since it's full of GMO corn syrup. Instead, I buy natural 100% pure cranberry juice in bottles from Trader Joe's.
Plain cranberry juice is way too tart and concentrated to drink straight, so I fill a pitcher about 1/5 full of cranberry juice and fill it the rest of the way with water. It turns the water a pleasant pink color, and it's super refreshing.
If you're a wimp when it comes to sour flavors, you can add a little stevia or other healthy sweetener to make it more palatable. But before you give into that sweet tooth, try making it super diluted by using half as much cranberry, and work your way up to liking it stronger, unsweetened.

We buy real cranberries and juice them. That way you know nothing was added. Then We cut it with water like you. You have to buy them around thanksgiving and freeze them.

Great idea. I wonder if you need to get them organic, however -- or if there even is such a thing. I don't know if cranberry bogs get sprayed or not. (It's hard to imagine any bug eating a cranberry.)

You do want the organic. They had a big problem with pesticides back in the 1960s. (Sales suffered) They learned their lesson but I fear that 50 years and they could forget

How about mixing it with orange juice?

Hi Katherine--recently started listening to you via Alex Jones program; and am pleased to learn of your web site and your brave and interesting endeavors.
--I have a question unrelated to cranberry juice however, regarding the new 'communications' net work sign in--not really sure what its called but its something that can be used instead of 'google' and you mentioned it on AJ show and I didn't get to write it down but am interested in knowing it so I can communicate more security hopefully!!! Thanks very much,
