US Cranberries Hosts Special Event with Global Brand Ambassador Chef Vikas Khanna

Speaking on the significance of the new findings, Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, Professor of Surgery, Robotic & Gastrointestinal Surgeon, Gleneagles & Fortis Hospitals, Mumbai said, “H. pylori bacterial infection is a major health concern in India, affecting nearly 60% of our population and contributing to conditions ranging from chronic acidity to stomach cancer. This latest research highlights that consuming cranberry juice twice daily for eight weeks can reduce H. pylori infection rates by 20%. Such results indicate a promising, natural, and complementary strategy to manage this persistent infection alongside conventional medical treatments.”

He further added, “If this approach is adopted widely in India, it could significantly improve patient compliance, reduce antibiotic resistance, and positively impact our overall health economy.”

Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative for The Cranberry Institute added, “We are very delighted and honoured to be associated with renowned culinary maestro, Chef Vikas Khanna. His extraordinary talent and passion for food have not only elevated Indian cuisine on the global stage but have also inspired countless food enthusiasts. His ability to connect health, heritage, and gastronomy makes him the ideal ambassador for the fruit.”

“US Cranberries are now easily available with dry fruit stores and leading e-commerce platforms”, added Mr Saran.

Guests also experienced curated tastings and interaction opportunities, reinforcing the ingredient’s adaptability across sweet and savoury dishes.
