. d8 z, Z; k- t2 V8 c2) 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.' K' H7 {9 _: j6 g  Y

# V2 D4 A. \# E) t+ f! R' D: ]. gMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs.
