High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

& }2 a* R/ I# j, [8 D3 E2) 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.
& H5 ~- G8 ]/ s1 P8 H1 j( \- O4 `( C5 z' R
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.
