$ Q2 R% B( n4 ?+ t! p- D2) 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.
$ o3 V, n. k% u5 F
3 }3 J; i) e: L4 l% ]9 WMany 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.   p5 z  ?6 P% [0 y

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