She is credited with absolutely fantastic properties: she allegedly protects against infections, atherosclerosis, gastritis and ulcers, even caries! How true they are, Natalia Topilskaya, the doctor-gastroenterologist of the clinic of the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, said, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net According to experience - Natalia Vladimirovna, now if they talk about the benefits of a product, they necessarily refer to scientific research. And research on cranberries were conducted? And have its useful properties been confirmed?.
- Serious scientific researches on natural food products are not carried out. First, because of the high cost of these studies, and secondly, because of the lack of stakeholders. After all, they are usually pharmacological companies that are interested in promoting their drugs. It is unlikely that cranberries will have such "lobbyists". Therefore, all the healing properties of this berry are described on the basis of ongoing laboratory analysis of the composition of the product, and, of course, life experience. The uniqueness of cranberries is that it contains many vitamins and trace elements, there is sucrose, fructose, organic acids, pectin and tannins.
By the way Morse's recipe: 1 st. cranberries rinse, peel, mash with a wooden spatula, squeeze the juice through gauze. Pepper pour 1 liter of water, add sugar to taste, boil. Decoction to cool, filter, mix with juice.
- It turns out that it will not save gastritis, ulcers and caries, as some scientific minds promise?.
- From the development of gastritis and ulcers - definitely not. With regard to treatment, until recently, cranberries were indeed used in the treatment of gastritis with a low acidity (the therapeutic effect is based on increasing the acidity of gastric juice due to the content of organic acids in the berry). Today, patients with gastritis, we do not prescribe strict diets completely excluding, say, acute and acidic foods, because the treatment is based on the detection of Helicobacter pylori bacteria and the administration of appropriate drugs. Of course, this does not mean that such patients are allowed to drink alcohol and eat it with bacon.
Moreover, for the purpose of treatment, data on the acidity of gastric juice are not required at all. So we do not prohibit cranberry fruit, but we also do not treat them. To treat peptic ulcer and 12 duodenum, cranberries are not used because of the same factor - the ability to increase the acidity of gastric juice, which can provoke an exacerbation of the disease. Concerning caries, the situation is similar. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth after eating, including after eating cranberries nedug. en.
