Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ( a% }; Y% [( B3 G" x

* Q( d+ E/ H5 X1 S4 y# @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.
$ `4 U# p- @+ y8 w7 H8 i& T4 G  _
$ d* E* l. j5 |% 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.
