Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
" A( u7 f( f9 w% O3 Q& P. i6 q, p. E$ R; R4 ^& z# k
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.+ k+ F! j4 i# ]$ N

# @% `3 Y% E! _) R- l$ [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. % x+ \& b5 y5 d. b: U; n7 w8 U  W
