High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. " V  s2 Z; f; H: S2 ]

, t' r" t4 p' v6 t9 A- F2) 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.: X7 D8 \% U7 V( b" \4 S
) x' t+ G3 O  N# ~( h7 Z7 ^
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.
