Some of the latest health research on cranberries includes the following:

Anti-cancer: Cranberries are being studied for their role in breast cancer. One study showed that human breast cancer cells showed significantly lower incidence of tumor development when the experimental group's diet was supplemented with cranberries.

Anti-aging: Cranberries may play a role in protecting brain cells from free radical damage and subsequent loss of cognitive function.

Dental: Cranberries may help reduce a specific type of bacteria in the mouth that causes cavities.

Heart: Cranberries contain flavonoids (potent antioxidants) that are being studied for their role in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.

Ulcers: Cranberries are being studied for their role in possibly preventing peptic ulcers.
