& a0 U# `7 B  E& j- D: i$ v2) 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.' H. B; k1 C# l$ c' t( Q1 s3 U3 q

3 A- i& z  n6 x$ sMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs.
