6 |* y* P$ e3 o% I2) 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.2 X$ B6 \* S( J! D( f9 q- v* o

8 l0 U$ D' ?9 V+ E/ n/ K' f4 FMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs.
