8 z1 K# e( A1 f' E" _9 TBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, # e/ V/ x, D( y% H$ v
# t4 ]- [$ h) s
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
8 j) S; L& u0 X: z9 [2 k, R
' [$ b4 e+ C6 b4 e( e# DMany 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. 4 |: H$ F4 f; X# k
