Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! V  o1 b, B  O, J
, m; H# B; R* d* C. Q5 K
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - V$ l) K3 i' H7 f4 ~# A0 S
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
, _- _; m6 {+ P' U( Q, n1 u" g. t1 Q! |# A9 h; f7 |. @
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.0 c* D. G+ Y9 T9 e
; _& s! g1 @' z9 c( C
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.
