Can cranberry juice treat a UTI?

Answer by  hellopiper (324)

Cranberry juice contains an enzyme that makes the walls of the bladder slippery and more difficult for bacteria to stick to, which may help prevent bladder and urinary tract infections. It is also highly acidic, which can kill bacteria by changing the PH of your urine, allowing faster healing.

Cranberry juice is not really an effective treatment for a UTI. Nor will it prevent a UTI. You are probably thinking of kidney infections, cranberry juice works well for those.
