Cranberries Help Kidneys?

I have heard for years, and my mom swore by it, that cranberries were good for your kidneys. 


Anyway....I HATE cranberry juice, but can bear it mixed with 7-up.  I've been drinking the "light" variety with a little diet 7-up.  But the actual juice content is only about 21%. 


Is there some other form of cranberries that I can use to get more of the actual cranberry effect?  I can't drink the juice straight up because of the sugar and carbs.  I don't like them just cooked with splenda or something like that.  I think there are cranberry pills or something out there, but do they have to same effect?


TIA :-)

I have not heard of cranberries for kidneys... but it is supposed to help prevent urinary tract infection.
