Israeli scientist Izhzhak Ofek from the medical faculty of the University of Tel Aviv found that two glasses of cranberry juice a day prevent the occurrence of a urinary tract infection in women.

For twenty years, Ophec has been studying the popular means of traditional medicine. And earlier he discovered large, non-dialysizable molecules that form a Teflon-like film on the surface of the oral cavity. And it was with the help of this scientist in the mid-90's offered to fight caries.

He also proved the effectiveness of cranberry juice in eradicating the main cause of stomach ulcers - the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. This time, effective effects have had polyphenols, which, according to antibacterial action, are not inferior to antibiotics.

And now an Israeli scientist has discovered that two glasses of cranberry juice per day are very effective in the prevention of urinary tract infection in women. As for men, the author of the study also recommends using this useful drink, although he can not say that this is as useful.
