you may like to read the following excerpt:
Scientific research has revealed that cranberries contain powerful condensed tannins called proanthocyanidins or PACs. These are nature's natural agents that may help to maintain your health by acting on certain harmful bacteria in the body. Scientists suggest that PACs may work by stopping certain bacteria from adhering in the body. If bugs can't stick, then they cannot multiply and cause infection. It's this anti-stick mechanism which is thought to be the key to cranberry's role in helping to maintain urinary tract health.
