adults with H. pylori ulcers revealed that those who drank two servings of cranberry juice<br />

in Massachusetts are more than 150 years old. In addition to Massachusetts, the fruit is<br />

also grown in several other states, including Wisconsin and New Jersey, as well as in parts<br />

of Canada.<br />
