Blueberries are bursting with
tannins, compounds that boot out the bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections.
Researchers at Rutgers University in Chatsworth, New Jersey, found that these
tannins prevent the germs from attaching to the wall of our bladder, where they
thrive. How many blueberries should we eat? Researchers aren’t sure. But if we
suffer from frequent urinary infections, we might want to think about tossing a
handful in our mouth whenever we are in the kitchen.
