Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . b# [& t2 U" ~4 t, n

2 U/ e& [% c% Q' R; K) Q2) 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- K+ e) L6 Y, h8 {1 a& ?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.
