Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 r  w0 |# \' O  i8 Y

4 w5 x7 g6 L! H2) 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.) Z9 A% A" ~7 g( r/ Y9 v& C  i

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.
