The Cranberry Institute.

A Scientific Symposium devoted to the health benefits of cranberries will be held at this year's Institute of Food Technologists' Annual Meeting & Food Expo. Researchers will discuss the latest on both the known and emerging health benefits of the cranberry, give an overview of the National

Institutes of Health's cranberry research program and discuss how cranberries' powerful bacteria-blocking properties may help prevent urinary tract infections, some stomach ulcers and even gum disease. They will also talk about how the cranberry is a rich source of antioxidants and propose how cranberries may help protect against heart disease and cancer. Finally, experts will describe cranberries' anti-inflammatory, potential anti-aging (both physical and cognitive) and emerging anti-viral properties.--The Cranberry Institute, 3203-B Cranberry Highway, East Wareham, Mass. 02538; 800/295-4132; www.cranberryinstitute.com
