Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
% d/ r# J/ s: G4 N. j- S! ?1 @5 [
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

5 y% J) Y8 g$ h: m5 P; {! ~4 e& w2) 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.
# S$ n- q7 \) G2 d" j! A" }1 j2 E, n+ `! k8 p! h4 Y
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.
