Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 5 y% j, v' W$ a, G2 U8 i

6 }  C# S0 z  W2) 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.- l9 {6 t  U9 r" t1 Q/ W$ X
/ }  \  G' F' h4 \+ M
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.
