Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 3 V* R* Z' n  B5 u4 n

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
  I7 |3 r0 U- j# y. n, _( [
8 @2 Y/ ^5 G$ z- U0 |. U- f* K  PMany 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.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 2 r' v. {4 k1 Z% C  }( D9 H! J
