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

- U4 F3 F: b- [2 {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.7 S/ D9 L2 \9 X2 a9 a, K/ X/ D
3 X1 z2 J- d+ G6 y4 K, }" X* x' t
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.
