Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 1 j$ Z' F) s' k0 ~8 z2 L

& z5 b  y6 x6 p3 E0 W2 k7 B/ v  k2) 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.
& L" j$ \: e1 ^0 i- W+ [/ {% [0 J/ o3 E( d
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.
