Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; d. U2 p& n7 k$ t2 J6 l

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

) x+ ~0 S& B) y" H2 S2) 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., ^3 _1 ?2 U1 i' p8 h
" W0 K9 J+ p/ z) n  x
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. ) D# V) `8 I9 s# e, U* g
