The words "cranberry juice blend" or "cranberry juice cocktail" describe goods that have a cranberry juice content of approximately 28%. The remaining ingredients usually consist of water, sugar added for palatability, and other fruit juice concentrates (usually grape, apple, or pear). While excessive use of cranberry juice can result in adverse consequences like upset stomach, diarrhea, and blood sugar rises, moderation is still recommended when consuming this beverage. Cranberry juice was once thought to be effective in treating urinary tract infections because it slows the growth of bacteria.
