Tag: Cranberry juice acidity

According to the National Institutes of Health, while generally safe in moderate amounts, drinking too much cranberry juice can cause side effects such as mild stomach upset and diarrhea. So, is there anything bad about cranberry juice, and how much is too much?

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), cranberry juice has a pH range of 2.3 to 2.5, making it significantly more acidic than apple juice, which typically has a pH between 3.3 and 4.0. This considerable difference in acidity, measured on the pH scale, affects everything from flavor profile to potential health impacts.
