I actually discovered a brand that sells 100% cranberry juice. It's called "Just Cranberry" and it's by Knudsen Good BRAND..I love their stuff! (not quite sure of the spelling). It is EXTREMELY tart, like makes your eyes cross. ROTFL 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. Actually, I was thinking, besides smooties, along the lines of a Cosmopolitan. .hee
Oh I think they also sell it as a concentrate in a small bottle, and that might be a cheaper alternative. My local HFS may have this so I'll check it out...I'd never thought of that idea.
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. They just may have this at Trader Joes. I don't have access to a WF market where I am...darnit.
I hope this helps! Yes, Amanda...thank you......this is a HUGE help and tells me that at least I know there are options other than that yucky supermarket stuff. I never seem to get UTI's so that's not a player..I just like the taste. In the summer when I was a kid, we went to MN and my grandmother who lived there had her own cranberry bog.....what a treat!!! I also love the dried ones!!
