Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - R& g: x5 ]# K

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

$ o! b) r: t8 `- [6 h  Y. N" o2) 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.
! C; {+ `$ k2 J6 g5 F, _7 K! H1 B# `6 \2 {; Y+ 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.
