Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 f3 `+ l' X# b

* A$ K+ a) I& }* t( @( M2) 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.0 G+ |) z9 y4 r) j
, O: ?$ m) Y7 G; 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.
