You already turn to cranberries to ward off urinary-tract infections, but these tart berries might help fight a far scarier illness: ovarian cancer. According to a new Rutgers University study, cranberries may significantly boost the effectiveness of cancer drugs. What's more, these powerful berries may even stop the growth and spread of some cancer cells. If you or a loved one is battling ovarian cancer, the researchers say the berries or a few glasses of cranberry juice a day (make sure it has at least 27 percent juice) might be a good idea.
