Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . _- X5 h# h4 f1 J' n! u3 q2 B

  x2 f) q% Z! Z8 q+ m8 X2) 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.
% F% P" q+ h: V6 {! p4 A- P! z* q- E! l+ B' |7 M
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.
