Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 [" N# t* e& p8 O7 ]# Q
" Y$ r: k& U5 p
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
0 `( D2 x% S& Y) q! CHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
6 A2 p# q. f2 v' t
8 ~" q( `) l) z% [7 ^. z7 I/ W) M2) 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.6 S- k& |7 Z8 u6 e

! X# R1 D; j- X: [7 f$ u! M  ?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. . k  p; d4 ], \6 P
