    Cranberry juice helps to limit the ability of bacteria in the urinary tract to grow and multiply by limiting adhesion of the bacteria.
    Note the word "limit" it is not a cure if you have or suspect that you have a UTI, you still need to see a doctor and get the proper antibiotics.
    People with a family history of kidney stones are not recommended to drink cranberry juice.
