Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
8 }1 [5 F) Q' U7 i+ `/ _1 J2 E3 x
8 C) s8 |4 _- R9 t! N6 fMany 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.
1 s* a0 F+ A( K( }; H; N& I. B3 D3 x3 s$ V; S" E  w( r5 B
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' u. _2 ]( i& H9 O  B; T

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.! }4 m, m) Z6 o

8 g9 X; ]( g$ k8 ZFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
6 }/ w2 O: V* d# g- X, X" ^4 a# [: \2 h6 h2 [5 m- d/ K
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
