Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
& B) m3 i: o# L0 F9 E3 ~) e: @5 W' w; C
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
  A' n5 k) z+ g, x3 A* ]High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ) E7 `1 H) g; T( V! X

& ~; ^/ y3 J7 o) q3 j) X, G6 G- A" U2) 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 D  \3 P' K' Y# P! U, J4 x
3 o4 u* C" L* n! C) {
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.   k! K* v5 `( W9 c' w  }1 A' O3 p
