High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
" Z. ~3 p4 Q& w6 ^
" J/ m% y/ A) J2) 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 R" }( t- Y: S, f) [& ~3 l& c; q, i5 J" @
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.
