Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; W( G* M* Z2 ]3 V8 ~& V
# @! s$ s' \) \7 [. X
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.2 K8 v5 ]8 [8 g

, w9 t% G5 S9 G& @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.
