Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   D; D  T/ n; B

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! " @* f% Y) Y2 H  }. C2 Q  o- P3 B+ k
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.   {% r7 {! j+ D

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.5 ^$ t, t, g0 x/ n: H$ [
8 u' W% W& p& U$ l, J2 L  Z8 r
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. 0 ?: r3 ~7 e( G

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.$ v- s+ V5 V* N$ B8 X' S
