High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

+ R2 i+ b! z1 t/ q* m) 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.
" J; I* b! n6 \- _& t: z3 ^1 A& {+ e5 P9 i- 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.
