Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - [- Q1 V! d/ L& N  I3 D1 p, Z5 a

/ q5 ^7 ~% B3 y3 T1 t2) 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., m" x7 z1 F( H$ S2 y2 b
' n+ \* D' d: |8 \4 k+ 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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind.
