Health benefits of Cranberry juice
Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) are a berry fruit, and berry fruits are a rich source of phenolic bioactives (phytochemical compositions) which help promote human health. They are high in (poly)phenols, and are antibacterial, antiviral, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antitumorigenic, antiangiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and rich in antioxidant compounds including: Myricetin, Peonidin, Anthocyanins, Proanthocyanidins, and Quercetin. These antioxidants help to promote heart health and boost the immune system by removing free radicals in the body.
The polyphenols in cranberry help to prevent bacteria from sticking and therefore assist to prevent urinary tract infections. Cranberries also help prevent kidney stones, dental plaque and cavities, lower cholesterol levels, and support cardiovascular health. [source]

If using a flavored apple cider vinegar, which flavor would you recommend?

Getting ready to try this, Does it hurt to use Stevia to sweeten the detox drink?

Stevia is a naturally derived sweetener from a plant. Natural green leave stevia and stevia extracts are ok but avoid procced ones or with fillers like Truvia. You can also swap it out for honey or maple syrup.
