Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 h# ?  m- [2 T# `; _

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!   q- b# N3 k4 m9 ~; I* c- |; w  J3 V
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.
1 S9 q" C, Y1 R* z* M
) g, w6 U4 i0 c# `4 ^1 c8 k% l$ [, BMany 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.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
