Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - E& M1 f/ t1 {

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 9 H* L% {1 j6 R, N2 ^5 b! _
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

" v6 \+ N4 ?/ T) e8 C, C2) 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.
% H6 ]1 P3 S& P+ D" `6 l: n5 y( W/ X. x+ Y- q" A5 X5 _
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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. ' S5 a$ C/ [% T2 z* ]
