& [: l8 v6 Q+ |; A& MBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
+ G# ?+ e% K, m2 }, d2 v8 L! U7 e* E$ X/ T3 ^
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; c( E% P* L% h
6 O' x% U7 R$ Z" N+ W* \- HA balance diet, and exercise regularly ( B% [) }+ S( ~

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
