3 X, s4 J$ m  y- f( yBased 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.1 i" L: V2 X% Z7 s* j) d
- X: {$ {' O- m! x  ^
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. % E9 y* e* P$ ^7 |

+ p+ B; D0 G9 E, a2 Z; [A balance diet, and exercise regularly 0 K5 E8 \1 P3 P  B5 S: I1 s

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 H# b- C3 x( ?5 L8 P" O
$ d; Y, i$ N6 I1 ~5 s
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. * M' [( ?  F4 s- C% I
