Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ) g" b6 @( c$ [) b

' Y5 J) K  s8 E' h2) 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.: N0 e5 O- v7 K* G; b" e0 b& c' V

0 X# H' ?, H( w5 r8 Y, gMany 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.
