! D: R- c4 j! p$ X, w6 p: }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.) A  Z+ }& T' G. O

6 q" W$ o/ P1 s( x0 P( W( TMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs.
