1 J) W$ K" ?0 {( A  M3 z6 C& L& p2 |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.4 y4 j$ R& K# r/ y

7 c, Z1 i4 a- y4 y+ ^& @6 X; ~! ]/ g2 sMany 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.
