" |8 r1 b: N* x4 M4 d4 n* O4 cBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 z0 X3 [& J) Q" J3 r' M! z/ q
' u. w! E, _, W2 J6 I( M
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

% M/ v5 `8 B  z/ E$ e  D% S5 z2) 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.
; [7 h2 q& G7 J9 E$ Y/ O' r% B2 q7 f8 \5 ?  H
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. 8 k/ s8 E, \; J# @+ U- U
