1 ~7 w( D( @2 a$ {# Q# jBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
5 F* Y6 P6 i- l6 {9 M9 D( x1 T4 [- @) \# L: R
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
8 c1 C2 x$ r, gHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ' y  U4 B# a& \! N
+ ?; v7 x% ^4 k# ~' d: r9 r
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.  E1 l3 P: _: c& y) i9 A) \1 o
# l& e% {  y( ^8 _3 o
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.
$ Q; x2 A1 Q6 {5 f4 k5 x' q/ B, Z! f' M* n& G8 j
A balance diet, and exercise regularly % t5 R' r. L/ U5 d
* @/ }2 J, R7 B" @7 z' i
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% z2 p0 b# h* J  q
. K3 V; c5 t: F5 tFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
