# a# l6 ^! H1 e  n0 B& s0 `9 J9 @1 I  dBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / f' M- p% M4 O/ J! B5 J
3 W9 N. Q7 d' U9 o9 I
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! , p5 }! q' ^5 T
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.
) C) o- M- M# a* z% i8 h# d5 p* r7 j
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.
