Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 P4 O7 I1 k0 r& U" q9 f5 q

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

' {- S4 X! @8 v0 y: f' _
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.6 ?# d# g6 K2 J, k
1 E9 j' H" `. o
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. ( D) P; _4 k: ^6 ~* M# U$ A+ _. l

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
