Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * V* k& e% R3 W/ I5 ]7 g; |0 p

& V# g4 L1 K% d) N; p, x2 c2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish./ @0 F& V. K$ q1 Y' v# s# z! K

8 \  V" b% ^5 {7 E* JMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.
