Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - P. s% F9 A2 l, J) X" k

( Q7 |2 y  }/ K9 U1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
% r( {" p+ ~. y9 Y, ^High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( X. f7 A" `5 ]1 g# X

/ R; ~, N9 r( g2 {) I# O. r2) 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., g' K5 M/ N: K5 U$ K+ e

9 `! e0 F' D: tMany 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.
