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

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ' ]3 M$ Y& Y' ?: F

) z5 ~4 M, X6 b/ f! J0 A2) 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.
- c2 `) L" N* U- X5 N3 e* P4 R) ~) J6 A7 u$ }' ~( [
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.
