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

4 Y4 ]; b- g# E+ i3 Z6 D- M2) 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.+ n, _9 H. |5 F6 l, s4 V
! m, x, r& L% A; @1 i
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.
