! R" \! i' b" KBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
. T; K8 Z0 h3 b( @. X& z' r: d1 Z. y; s
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - {+ `# S9 R- c6 O
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 7 q: n. i2 ?( J6 p& l, R& G! t

! H" i0 D2 ]. c3 ]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.
2 E- A) n# k8 _6 t& i, ]' D# a# b2 }9 v) y2 o1 ~
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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind.
8 Z# y3 b1 j% x2 q, w' _$ r
