$ }( a: g% K1 [" x$ x2 bBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! + V0 G8 ?7 ?- U4 N/ I2 _
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 6 D& d; f) y8 f8 n6 E* W
/ X' ?; t: Z2 p6 j/ R
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.. j9 L1 E$ J  W3 k

4 r6 A: O) ~4 q% G1 ~3 rMany 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.
