Similarly, maple syrup will be labeled "MAPLE SYRUP". It's illegal to sell anything but 100% maple syrup otherwise.

The catch is that you wouldn't want to drink straight cranberry juice, unless I'm mistaken.
From what I understand, it keeps down the bacteria in your bladder and kidneys, but I could be wrong.

As far as pain, my threshold sucks big time. Having diabetic neuropathy doesn't help either (it makes one sensitive to heat, cold and pain). I totally despise needles of any kind, and the little sharp pains of the neuropathy drive me nuts!
