Currently, scientists are working to determine if the flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds found in cranberries prevent atherosclerosis, where bad cholesterol sticks to the arteries and causes heart disease.
It's no secret that cranberries are thought to decrease the bad (LDL) cholesterol and increase the good (HDL) cholesterol, as well as reducing to tumor growth. While many people prefer cranberry juice over cranberries, why not reap the benefits from cranberries in their most basic form? Add a handful of dried or fresh cranberries to salads, cereals, oatmeal, muffins and other meals. It's important to remember that all cranberries are not created equal. Find cranberries that are shiny, hard and a deep red or brown - these are signs of freshness. These are usually tart and may go better in sauces, dressing or baked goods.
