Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 3 X, F5 \2 S7 G) |# X8 H, ^

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 8 Q: P% w* ?9 B
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
- w0 V4 h+ c# y8 L
! b3 P' A" S1 q, \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.
( m3 [3 |4 x/ h1 u
