Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, : h" }4 Y, y- t3 a2 Y

0 Q- \# y& e0 B) P) R1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

$ z# \9 p/ m, ?
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.' X  X5 q5 Q  g1 J1 y

1 K$ f/ G  m7 |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.
