1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - ^# y1 _# L1 K( s
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 2 R. b! O# h/ |

6 I5 ^$ Y- c# n2 O) k$ [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.
$ y/ M: T! Z+ @
! k! [% M9 s6 Y1 t. ^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.
