; C; _  O6 h* ^( y4 X2) 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.
8 l; x& b3 f, D  N3 w
, L- A& Y- x8 `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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 7 r& q: V( n/ a. h# x
