IL6 and lymphoma: Four studies have shown the effects of cranberry on immune function in diverse ways: in a rabbit model of infection-induced oxidative renal damage, cranberry reduced inflammation[7]; consumption of a cranberry beverage in a human intervention study resulted in a reduction in pathogen in 42% of the subjects without altering normal vaginal microbiota[6]; lower levels of urinary IL-6 were found in pregnant women after drinking cranberry juice for at least 3 days[8]; and an enhanced generation of anti-lymphoma antibodies was detected in an immuno-competent mouse model of lymphoma[9].
