Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / [# q, ?2 h# l* q6 o5 G

" [2 S% g3 @; M& m" G6 z* q1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.& e* }& a; [& T: i! R0 q; Z
, q. m. i# _, Y6 F6 c
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.
