Cranberries Fight Cancer
Certain compounds in cranberries have been found to be toxic to many cancer tumor cell lines, including: 
- Lung cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Breast cancer
- Leukemia
One study, for instance, published in the June 2004 Journal of Nutrition, found that whole cranberries inhibit prostate, skin, lung and brain cancer cells. Experts believe a compound in the whole cranberry (not just the juice) is responsible for this effect.
