* ~' B3 i: d0 |& A% RBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   L5 M7 s5 F6 E

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.
0 V  o0 {$ ?" Q6 I' u# R0 x1 ~/ D9 s# [# S/ n
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.
