- F1 n+ I! c% h1 _! _' @Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
& G2 [- u( C6 c7 r) u3 x2 J7 Q- w2 |High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
  u1 V. V4 q7 Z/ {6 R1 M# Z7 F! b: V! k- Z/ ]
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.0 |* F. C, D+ W8 }
3 K6 {4 @/ C: k9 T3 h
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.
5 _3 J0 D$ z) y/ ?) v% G
