Researchers in London calculated the cardio-protective potential of cranberry juice and found it may assist lower blood pressure and help promote heart health.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London compare with the cardio-protective potential of cranberry juice and that of red wine, cocoa and green tea and found that oligomeric procyanidins were present in regular and light cranberry juice cocktail.
"Red wine has long been associated with heart health, but this new study demonstrates that cranberry juice is a very promising alcohol-free alternative," Corder, author of "The Red Wine Diet," said in a statement. "We have now recognized oligomeric procyanidins as the specific compound in cranberries that can boost the health of blood vessels, helping to prevent blood vessel constriction - a leading cause of high blood pressure."
