# T9 t; ?9 W+ Q+ ~& Y

/ C$ N% j8 s5 SBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

- s+ i# K- y7 ?+ ^& c7 d2) 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.! n& m6 ~2 \# o- M
  K9 O& ]* d& w9 ]8 Z8 \" 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.
  V0 F0 u6 W0 Y  L5 ~% v% W( Y# ?5 d1 u' _( v; s# H, F7 [3 X$ u7 b
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
7 y. O: n& K0 j* y4 @- l, _* P' \1 S+ u$ X
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
) D# F: L, P. |! P- p# t2 G- u9 |' `, M6 f0 R  e8 `- V) |3 I
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. . s4 Y3 U+ r& M; |  Y
; |5 _  e8 y' B" R4 `
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health." ^4 a7 q' R4 h, |1 H9 h5 P3 c
