" z6 \- w# t& C( W7 }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.* s# s/ v. u2 C

2 l7 z  n7 K, P$ s0 I! IMany 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. - G- V' `# O& X/ H0 e, D

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
