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.

You're much more brave....tried one little cooked berry....way too tart, and tart is a taste I generally like. I do enjoy cranberry sauce, seems we did have it more often than just holidays around our house when I was growing up. Ocean Spray processing plant was about 20 or so miles from my town and berry bogs were always interesting to watch over time. When I was a kid, I was sure those flooded bogs were very, very deep....
