Top 3 Reasons to Enjoy Cranberries, from the Cranberry Institute
1.Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) and other polyphenols that help to prevent free radical damage.
2.The unusual PACs found in cranberries have an A-type linkage structure that sets them apart from most other vegetable and fruit PACs, and is responsible for their anti-adhesion properties.
3.Several studies show that the total antioxidant capacity of the cranberry consistently ranks higher than most other berries and commonly consumed fruits.
