% _/ U* V  ~3 s6 N1 P$ L: p$ S% _" C2) 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.  ~% {/ L5 r0 P- Y
; S+ ~2 C6 A" z' J5 t3 x( X& \: L
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.
