Benefits Of Cranberries, Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Everyone loves cranberry sauce.  Guess what?  There are many benefits to eating cranberries.  The cranberry is actually considered one of the super foods.  The little red berry is known for its cancer-fighting properties and the ability to boost your memory.  It is also said to contain anti-aging properties.

Does that sound too good to be true? Not really – cranberries have been the focus of many studies to prove exactly that:

• University of Illinois, 1996, demonstrated the potential anti-cancer properties of cranberries.
• University of Western Ontario studied cranberries and showed that breast cancer cells had less tumor development when the other group’s diet was supplemented with cranberries.
• Tufts University has been finding promising results associated with the high antioxidant properties of cranberries.
• Even the Journal of the American Dental Association is involved, reporting that a diet including cranberry juice reduces oral bacteria

The cranberry is a power house of nutrients.  Don’t kill the benefits by adding too much sugar or buying canned. Homemade cranberry sauce is simple to make and when you make it yourself, you can control the sugar content.
