under active research for possible benefits to the cardiovascular system and immune system, and as anti-cancer agents,[13][14] such as in isolated prostate cancer cells.[15] Although polyphenols have antioxidant effects in vitro, they can act as pro-oxidants in others.[clarification needed] In addition, it is uncertain whether polyphenols and flavonoids account for the benefits of diets rich in plant-derived foods.[14]
that might inhibit formation of plaque by Streptococcus mutans pathogens that cause tooth decay.[16] Cranberry juice components also may possibly influence formation of kidney stones.[17][18]
cranberries had a high amount of total polyphenols.[19] Cranberry tannins have laboratory evidence for anti-clotting properties and may prevent recurring urinary tract infections in women.[20] Raw cranberries and cranberry juice are abundant food sources of flavonoids such as proanthocyanidins, flavonols [21] and quercetin.[22][23] These compounds have shown possible activity as anti-cancer agents in vitro.[24][25][26] [27][28] However, their effectiveness in humans has not been established, and is limited by poor absorption into cells and rapid excretion.
infections in the urinary system. Laboratory research shows that a possible effect may occur from a component of the juice inhibiting bacterial attachment to the bladder and urethra.[29][30][31] Although promising for anti-bacterial activity, long-term consumption of cranberry juice has not been proven to reduce urinary tract infections in whole populations. However, there is preliminary evidence for possible effects against urinary tract infections in women.[32] Similar applications have not been successfully proven in other clinical trials of consuming cranberry juice or tablets by people with spinal cord injury associated with bladder catheterization, neurogenic bladder or infrequent urination, any of which may be associated with increased susceptibility to bacterial infections.
