Yes, you can say that again! Several years ago I bought a bag of cranberries to try my luck at cooking them. I cooked the whole bag and didn't add any sugar. It was tart but I didn't mind the tartness, I thought it had an interesting taste. Although, it's not something you can eat a lot of; I decided I would just eat a teaspoon or tablespoon of it before breakfast.
After a few days of doing this, I noticed it was getting more and more difficult to empty my bladder. There was no doubt in my mind what was causing this so I disposed of the remaining portion of cranberry sauce.
I've heard that cranberry juice is recommended to women who get bladder infections. That may be true but it doesn't necessarily mean that cranberries are good for men. Or maybe it's just me. After I discontinued eating the tart cranberries, bladder emptying went back to normal.
