Hello Friends,
An ongoing University of Wisconsin study is researching the cranberry's ability to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Scientists have found that cranberry extract contains polyphenol compounds called flavonoids, which may help maintain heart health. In fact, the Wisconsin study has already shown that the properties of cranberry juice that could contribute to inhibiting blood clotting, promoting blood vessel diameter and preventing clogged arteries are equivalent to those of red wine.
You know... just a question, if cranberry is so good at preventing clotting and has no side effects, they why not just use cranberry extract? It seems that if you are on coumadin and eat cranberries there is a risk of hypovolemic shock due to the thinning of blood. Is the mainstream medical establishment admitting the real effects of cranberries in way that bastardizes them because of how effectful they really are? In other words let's give creadence to their ability to actually prevent clotting, but raise the alarm that they are bad for you because it's normal to be on coumadin....and cranberries and coumadin don't mix. Let's just forgo the cranberries..... More coumadin please!
Joe
