I suppose, any variance from a standard range of normal is what the bacterium that are often the culprits for urinary tract infections are fond of. Other bacteria may well favor a more acidic environment that what is * normal * and decreasing acid levels would discourage their staying. Too much acid in *some* people, over a period of many weeks or months, is linked to kidney stones. BUT...often there is something else going on that is encouraging this * i.e. consumption of too much soda *high carbonic acid levels*, genetic predisposition, imbalances in other parts of the bodies digestive or endocrine system. All in all, it goes back to Vit C helps the body's immune system *kick in* and kick out bacterial invaders, and is known to be especially efficient at combating UTIs when combined with cranberry. I stopped using cranberry juice, and switched to tablets a long time ago as the sugar in the drinks actually did the urinary system a disservice when trying to fight and infection. I have had HUGE success when doing this for myself, my daughter, hubby and my dog. :-) Gotta keep all the family members happy! *G*
