  ~( C$ R+ _7 E+ IBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " t3 z5 j9 s$ W- g# Q

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.
8 a5 J7 K: ], P3 V. w8 c+ A! p7 ?! O, B4 K
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.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
