Ear Infection

Ear Infection

Study results in 2002 suggest that cranberry
juice may inhibit a type of bacteria that is
a common cause of ear and respiratory infections
in children. This is according to researchers at
the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases
Society of America.

In this study it was found that cranberry juice
can inhibit certain strains of Haemophilus
influenzae, a type of bacteria found in the nose
and throat of 75% of healthy children and adults.
The bacteria can also cause infections, and may be
responsible for up to 40% of bacterially-derived
middle ear infections.
