Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . o# M, }- K% ]9 l& D5 x" q

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

* m. _# d7 C+ @- t1 b; J2) 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.
- v/ F3 B) P, d2 j& c2 g% v8 F% c
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.
