Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 A/ ^; w3 f& a6 [
7 F7 |' z  Q4 \* p: y2 ?! A
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! , {+ a, V9 b' s. l/ N$ t
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 1 t$ J2 b1 u# d  S+ [7 X

9 a7 F4 A' V1 M8 P" Y( \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 C( e+ ]% l4 ?! \
3 S) p, }$ q* [8 y- Y% p+ I; ]' {! i, E
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.   ]3 C- C- r) h5 D# @3 ]. q

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. * Z! {; T# S0 {
