I found 100 % pure cranberry juice everywhere in the UK but have not
been able to find it anywhere in the US except for in overpriced
health food stores. Everything in the supermarket is grape or apple
juice with a smidgen of cranberry juice in it.


In the US I find it in the 'health foods' sections of most
supermarkets - where they have things like soy milk (not
refrigerated) and other organic stuff, not with the bottled juices.
It's expensive - about $3 per bottle, but as I usually dilute it to
50% anyway, I figure I get it for $1.50 . That's still more
cranberry juice than the typical cocktail stuff.


Ocean spray anyone???

Waaaaay too sweet IMO, and also not 100% cranberry. At least with
unsweetened 100% you can control how much sugar you add (for myself -
very little).

It *does*.

Furthermore, it doesn't get rid of it all. Duh.

Ocean spray has 100% juice, unsweetened. They do mix with other juices,
but I prefer that, myself, and there is a high content of cranberry.

But why?
I would say "I'm going to have a mastectomy," not "I'm going to have a
breast amputation." I would say "I'm going to have a cholecystectomy," not
"they are going to amputate my gall bladder tomorrow." I don't really get
the difference here.

Not to agree or disagree, exactly, but the "ectomy" part of the names of
those surgeries *means* to cut off, remove, or amputate. I can't find the
Latin for "foreskin" (the Romans seem to have thought of it as
indistinguishable from the rest of the penis and therefore didn't have a
separate word for it), but the parallel name for circumcision would be
"foreskin-ectomy".

Does "no sugar added" = "no fructose syrup" ? I've never seen Ocean
Spray without the syrup.

btw - are cranberries strictly a temperate climate thing? I couldn't
find cranberry juice anywhere in Thailand. And when I asked my Aussie
MD (ob/gyn) friend about it, she said she'd never heard of the
cranberry juice thing for UTIs (nor had she ever had cranberry juice).

From www.oceanspray.com:

"Do your Premium 100% Juice Blends contain added sugar?

We do not add any sugar to these products. The grams of sugar shown on
the label come from naturally occurring sugars present in the fruit
juices used to make the product"

that would make sense.

she should have by now, surely. i'm not a dr & i have. ocean spray entered
the market a couple of years ago. (to an underwhelming response, i gather.)
i'd assume most of my compatriots would find the drinking of cranberry juice
to be an odd pastime. we don't have cranberries, that's just the way it is

Sorry, no cookie.

My blue-wearing son was frequently referred to as "she" by well-meaning
strangers, who informed me he was "too pretty to be a boy."

My blue-wearing daughter is often referred to as "she" for the same reason

I guess that would be the combined posthe and acroposthion (those words
are of Greek derivation, but anyway...) making the surgery an
"acroposthion-posthetctomy" or something like that. That's certainly a
mouthful. But my point was just that one will generally speaking use the
common name for a procedure just because it is the common name for the
procedure. I don't go around talking to my clients about doing an
onchyectomy - I talk about "declawing" their cats. I do explain that when
a declaw is done, the distal toes are amputated, but I don't say "so, if
you're still interested despite my recommendation against the procedure,
you can call and schedule your toe amputation at your convenience, Dr B
will do it." I say "if you're still interested...you can call and schedule
a declaw with Dr. B..." YKWIM?
