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.
: A( o0 `- `7 j# w; s# @
. f: \1 L3 M2 FMany 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. ' O6 t' C+ ~+ Q" M/ [2 O* G6 T4 T+ O

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
