J. Blumberg et al (2013). Cranberries and Their Bioactive Constituents in Human Health. Advances in Nutrition, 4, 618-632. Cranberries are a real superfood with many benefits, protection against recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) being one of their most famous health benefits. The anti-UTI effects of cranberries ( Vaccinium macrocarpon) and cranberry juice have been largely attributed to the presence of A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberries. These flavanoids have been shown to inhibit the adhesion of Escherichia coli, the main UTI-causing bacterium, to the urinary tract wall.
Further research in humans is needed to verify the potential anti-obesity effects of lingonberries and to determine the amount needed to reap this benefit. Summary Results: The cumulative rate of first recurrence of urinary tract infection during the 12 month follow up differed significantly between the groups (P=0.048). At six months, eight (16%) women in the cranberry group, 19 (39%) in the lactobacillus group, and 18 (36%) in the control group had had at least one recurrence. This is a 20% reduction in absolute risk in the cranberry group compared with the control group (95% confidence interval 3% to 36%, P=0.023, number needed to treat=5, 95% confidence interval 3 to 34).

Try it in your morning smoothie, as a topping on your favorite pancakes or as a lingonberry sauce on baked turkey breast — the same way you might enjoy cranberries and turkey at Thanksgiving. Apart from cranberries, there are only a few natural sources of A-type PACs. Plums, avocados, peanuts, and cinnamon have been shown to contain some A-type PACs, but in relatively low concentrations. In fact, it has been reported that among plant-based natural foods, only lingonberries contain A-type PACs in amounts similar to those found in cranberries. However, large-scale clinical trials are still needed to evaluate whether lingonberries and lingonberry juice have anti-UTI effects comparable to those of cranberries.Moreover the mice given the lingonberry diet had lower insulin and blood sugar levels than the other groups. Researchers concluded that lingonberries had the potential to treat diabetes as well as control weight gain and obesity. (5) 5. Oral Health
Hybrids between Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Vaccinium myrtillus, named Vaccinium × intermedium Ruthe, are occasionally found in Europe. Lingonberries are prevalent in traditional nordic medicines to treat oral yeast infections. According to research, lingonberries can help prevent bacteria from forming in the mouth, causing oral yeast infections. Weight control
Quercetin in Lingonberries and Cowberries Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
