Cranberry Juice Detox: Benefits, How-To & Scientific Backing

Drinking diluted cranberry juice, commonly referred to as cranberry water or cran-water, has become an increasingly popular way to detox the body to promote weight loss. Holistic nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., a proponent of this method, says the diluted cranberry juice acts as a diuretic that flushes retained water, helps to flush the colon of stagnant waste, and rejuvenates the liver so that this organ becomes more efficient at burning body fat for energy.
