I actually discovered a brand that sells 100% cranberry juice. It's called "Just Cranberry" and it's by Knudsen (not quite sure of the spelling). It is EXTREMELY tart, like makes your eyes cross. When I was on citrucel clear mix (I'm on acacia now) I used to add about 3 oz of Just Cranberry to a full glass of water + citrucel. It's also expensive, about $7 a bottle at Whole Foods in Manhattan. But, from what I've read about bladder health, we only need about 3oz a day, which is basically one swallow. If you can get that down once a day, you'll get a lot of the vitamins and benefits, without all the calories and HFCS from the cranberry juice cocktails. You might also want to use Just Cranberry in a smoothie or something if you're not tough enough to drink it straight.
Oh I think they also sell it as a concentrate in a small bottle, and that might be a cheaper alternative.
Also, check out Northland brand cranberry juice. I don't know if they use HFCS, but I do know that their cranberry juice cocktails are 27% cranberry juice, whereas the other cocktails use as little as 5 or 10 percent.
I hope this helps!
