Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

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.
( ~9 p* L  k# X; X9 L) B  j" [* [3 S7 {. U- H! B% N3 C4 M) r; k
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. 6 ^, L- K. B* V! G1 t" U
) c3 s7 D. i9 `1 |& b( D1 R
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 9 r6 l4 Z3 [$ Z4 i8 p: ~

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
, E+ r" b% |. x- p9 w' a& H+ u  I* C
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
