Cranberry juice is the juice of the cranberry.
OH REALLY. IS THAT THE CASE.
This excessive tautology is getting to me and I feel the need to raise a dispute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.208.75.117 (talk) 18:35, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
AND ANOTHER THING.
Under the health effects an increased risk of kidney stone is listed. WHAT. Cranberry juice has no bad effects! This is objectively TRUE. What is this, amateur hour?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.208.75.117 (talk) 18:41, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- True, according to who? Sources?79.102.6.74 (talk) 11:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
This cranberry juice article is loaded with weasel words. I thought we had some kind of robot that takes out weasel word "information". I guess not. oh well. Richard8081 (talk) 02:48, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Drink?
I have heard 'Cranberry Juice' used as an euphemism for a Cosmopolitan drink. Is this a common occurance, and so should be added?79.102.6.74 (talk) 11:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
cranberry and cytochrome p450
Why haven't you said anything about Cranberry's effect on cytochrome p450?
it inhibits the activity and increases toxicity of certain drugs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.161.23.136 (talk) 05:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
The Departed
In Scorsese's "The Departed" (2006) when De'Caprio's character, Billy Costigan, orders some Cranberry juice it is described as a natural diuretic that someone's girlfriend drinks when on her period. This claim appears to be false (or at least not mentioned in this article) but perhaps there should be an "in popular culture" section.--Timtak (talk) 03:33, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
I see that there is fairly reliable claim that Cranberry juice is a diuretic [1] and that as such it is used as method of beating drug tests [2][3], and though disputed at least a common myth [4], and that this is perhaps why the Billy Costigan character is drinking it (to make those around him think he is using drugs, and trying to hide their presence using a diuretic)[5]. What part if any of this is "encyclopaedic" I am not sure.--Timtak (talk) 03:48, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
