Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ' H$ c4 \3 _: D, w. e

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 N  t  k% g  {: ~0 v5 q; F6 a' ]$ Z& ]8 J, Y
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. ( p) H' Y$ L6 Y7 l/ `. ]' R- ?5 `! Q

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you." t* @; p/ _% x9 {% ?/ P4 I3 Y
