Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

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.
9 }9 b& M4 ?' ?1 g$ e6 [7 Z6 P% x* g: _! \" q; N: W1 D% S1 @/ V
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. ; D( u. y5 X' ]: B$ l5 a' @! ~

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
