The Concentration of Organic Acids in Cranberry Juice Modulates the Gut Microbiota in Mice

A daily consumption of cranberry juice (CJ) is linked to many beneficial health effects due to its richness in polyphenols but could also awake some intestinal discomforts due to its organic acid content and possibly lead to intestinal inflammation. Additionally, the impact of such a juice on the gu...
