Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. . i. f4 t  O/ a. [1 D

: V- l) J- H* l+ [2 U2) 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.3 {9 X4 t, V+ f  i9 e9 |' n
; g- ?# O# [  b& z* q, s- f
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. - {) b5 s, E) e9 X4 L
5 l& ]8 g- M! j4 O* B
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
$ k. m* i# \% D, n& s& e

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ; j0 I3 Q. a+ A9 X( K$ y$ ?3 C

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
