How cranberries could improve memory and ward off dementia (12 weeks, 1 cup a day equivalent = “Significant decrease in LDL” & “Significant improvements in memory and neural function”)

lions mane is taken by people with MS that have brain fog. It works.

[McGavin999]

I eat the low sugar ones, but you are right.

[China Clipper]

Hmmm.... What about cranberry juice?

[Albion Wilde]

One cup a day; get up to pee all night. Are they sure the reduction in LDL isn’t due to the increased exercise?

[ConservativeMind]

Anything with sweetener would run counter to what this study did.

[entropy12]

Who can consume (especially older folks) cup of sour cranberry’s every day without creating acid stomach?

Do what I am doing instead. Mild exercise EVERY DAY!
Helps heart, lungs, kidneys, delays PAD, delays dementia, keeps A1C down, keeps BP in normal range, AND best of all it helps avoid falls due to bad balance. I have balance of a ballet dancer at age 82.

“...short 12-week cranberry intervention...”

I like it when they talk like that.

[itsahoot]

And 60 years ago, they said Cranberries caused cancer.

That outraged Paul Harvey, remember it well.

[Deplorable American1776]

The research was paid for by Ocean Spray Cranberries...🤓

"Cranberries are typically imported."

How many are imported?
Here are the domestic production numbers for 2021 -

"In 2021, almost 354 thousand tons of cranberries were produced in the U.S."

[jjotto]

US is largest exporter of cranberries. US imports of cranberries are less than a tenth of exports.

[GaltAdonis]

Myself - being a borderline 'Piney' by location of my upbringing,
I felt that this thread would not be complete without
an image of domestic cranberry harvesting in rural
Burlington county New Jersey.

Note: Some people define a 'Piney' as a New Jersey 'redneck'.
And likewise, many people take offense at that awful slur. (-:

[GaltAdonis]

"US imports of cranberries are less than a tenth of exports."

Thank You.
I know that New Jersey, Wisconsin and Massachusetts grow a LOT of them.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Thanks! Have to dig out the cranberries at the bottom of the freezer.

I don’t have dementia (yet) but Lions Mane works for me as well — word recall and “clarity” of thinking. Taken daily, it takes two weeks to start working. Get the kind that has both types of mushroom flesh.

[MayflowerMadam]

You are so wonderful. We worship your wonderfulness. And you’re humility. Yeah ... that’s it ... your humility.

[MayflowerMadam]

What form does lions mane come in? Capsules or similar? (Not a fan of eating mushrooms.)

[entropy12]

Yes life is precious. Those who do not learn how to stay in good health and good shape are just low IQ people. Rest of us can feel great and avoid falls and enjoy life more.

Wow, thanks guys for the edification. I thought I read years ago that most cranberries are imported from South America. I am glad to be corrected. I had a slight prejudice against cranberries because of that. I try to support domestic when I can.
