Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - }+ t2 a" S7 j8 ]+ E" F3 z
6 [6 ?# B! d2 U8 t- e  Y5 s) l
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! " f% C% r$ ~5 @4 Q+ @
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. # d. Q1 Y3 r& D( V3 d% ~
( L8 C# R3 b; K% G3 ^# t7 E6 \
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.
$ S# C) J, f6 Y: q. ?
: s' G% `7 r+ W6 g: ^# x9 G3 @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.

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.) i% k8 n& Y( ^4 I6 y

) i% D0 h3 {  i8 U  ?9 E* @For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
