Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ' t0 }6 q; |1 f  K; ?  p; a

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 u9 X7 H5 l7 {/ K( L+ m, {
, x0 E2 ]" g* |  F) b; R& t
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.
