Researchers at Charles Sturt University (CSU) have found that raspberry juice and raspberry juice cordial can be used to kill many of the bacteria known to cause gastroenteritis.
Yes, without doubt. We have tested in the laboratory the activity of this raspberry cordial down to a one-in-10 dilution, which is much weaker than the manufacturers recommend, and we've found that it will kill the common food borne pathogens like E. coli and salmonella. It's also very effective on stapharius mycobacterium, which is one of the causes of TB [Tuberculosis] and clostridium, which is a common source of wind infection.
