In this episode, Jill has another Fact or Fiction episode where she talks about cranberry juice and if it can prevent kidney stones.

While cranberry juice can help with urinary tract infections (UTIs), it does not prevent kidney stones. Jill emphasizes the importance of fluid intake and urine output in kidney stone prevention, recommending two and a half to three liters of urine output per day. She explains that staying hydrated helps flush out crystals and waste from the kidneys, reducing the risk of stone formation.
