Are Your Cranberries Souring Your Health?

Published: Fri, 11/19/21

Dear ,

Turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie... and cranberries. Thanksgiving just wouldn't be complete without a dose of these tart little fruits.

In fact, each year, approximately 80 million pounds of cranberries are enjoyed during Thanksgiving week alone. They star in everything from fruit salads and festive cocktails to baked dishes and desserts.

And cranberries are loaded with health benefits. They rank second only to blueberries in antioxidant capacity (among fruits). They also act as a strong alkalizing agent in the body, reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, and promote cellular health.

But we have some bitter news to share... most cranberry sauce has 20 grams of sugar and 86 calories per serving!

As a person who values their health, you already know that sugar is bad news. It ages your body, contributes to weight gain and can increase your risk of disease. And artificial sweeteners are even WORSE!

But now for some good news...

You can still enjoy your cranberry sauce this season, without souring your health.

Bring to the table a fresh, tangy, wholesome, low-glycemic cranberry sauce... our just-as-sweet sauce has a mere 2 grams of sugar and only 18 calories.

So forget the high-fructose syrup-laden, canned and contaminated cranberries... and enjoy this deliciously sweet, healthy cranberry sauce.
