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

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 3 k7 n. ^% t& ^. w

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.3 t% H9 `) ?2 z7 x( v( B

+ ~& [$ e1 e- i0 i$ T3 q" FMany 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. 9 C6 x7 k; R2 D8 S8 ?

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.& |( n! Q9 R2 t
