Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

: C. ^7 U+ B" O! Q! X6 s& f% j2) 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.
" F  ~- ]: }7 G) x- }* X, l9 g" y3 Q8 v! Y, E* h4 {' R, _; T! c" `0 n
Many 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.
8 o/ p7 x. h% L" D9 \6 B: G1 F' R2 D& p2 ]2 C5 Y: N
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.- m- \  a- @( `7 N& u- i& a

. c2 a% d( |7 u) y3 ?# _& [* }& DFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
( ^& o/ i) h; d" l
0 x- Y, i8 F  Q4 E' WTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
