( [* p0 U1 `5 I' JBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

! v' O2 Z$ X7 s$ T5 |; z2) 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.( H1 Z) `6 S: J" Q; ?4 V& N
) @1 b4 c. c. i1 F
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.
