" D& Z2 y7 T3 A+ _! B" XBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

! Z4 U8 L' ^3 W2 v/ R2) 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.
: C$ T* x- ^# L5 x: v$ i, L7 d6 c2 D, [
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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 4 F# l4 n' o- G( x9 i  X- n
