Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / E" q& Q; J) v5 e; {

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - g( D; y- {* e& N

2 j. a$ N) W' p( Z% s' t/ h2) 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.; }) i' Z9 n- d8 E4 o2 p. S) S' j
! \6 G$ `* O# h: C1 `0 V9 L0 \
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.
