Fact - raspberry cordial has been proven to decontaminate water BEFORE it is consumed. As you should be drinking bottled water over there this is not an issue.
Theory - raspberry juice or jam has a certain acid that stops the bugs from multiplying in the gut and taking hold. This is currently being researched.
I and many others have faith in the raspberry products. But nothing has been proven yet, therefore there is no set dosage, or recommended product.
Or course we may have all just been lucky whilst taking these raspberry products. But no-one has disproved us yet.
