# b% U5 B* ~& @$ O# Q7 gBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

2) 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.
! {9 T/ t! R  y0 d, _& P
3 ~7 w9 @9 Y0 O4 xMany 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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. $ s8 S1 U, F3 n3 O! ^& Q6 U2 t

/ w9 h' b  v) S9 ^- \A balance diet, and exercise regularly
$ n  Z8 D; i- j6 k0 D0 R7 x( I, W0 k$ _& a2 x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
( t' c1 @, V  _5 W  R6 }" M( ]7 p& t4 x1 b
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
1 z! B; f: T- B& w( F3 O+ O1 n; q2 h2 D& {( @/ ]. |$ W8 [
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.+ W! Y2 t4 P- G) {8 _
