Properties of cranberry: • Cranberry has very few calories and is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin K. • This unique fruit also contains other nutrients such as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (PACs), which are antioxidants to help prevent a significant range of diseases. • Since cranberries are a rich source of vitamin K, people taking blood-thinning medications should consult their doctor before consuming cranberries. Risks of using cranberries: People who use blood thinners, warfarin or Coumadin, should not suddenly increase the amount of cranberries. There is conflicting evidence regarding the potential of cranberry to increase the anticoagulant properties of blood and may lead to increased bleeding. It is possible that cranberry products cause more oxalate excretion through urine. This process may accelerate the formation of kidney stones. People with a history of kidney stones should consult their doctor before increasing cranberry consumption.
