Question:
Is there a possiblity of drinking too much cranberry juice?
I have a UTI that I'm trying to get rid of without medication. I've probably drank about two gallons of cranberry juice in a day. Is this ok? I mean, aside from the sugar content. I'm not worried about getting fat off of it. Worried about yakin' lol Thanks

Answers:
I'd be more worried about the runs you are going to get. You are just going to have vitamin c overload and that has to come out somewhere. I have read though that drinking more then the daily recommended allowance of liquids can be harmful, it can even cause brain damage. So be careful. You don't need two gallons of cranberry juice in one day, even with an uti. Try mixing that up with some water or sport drinks.
