Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

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.
- \% o# |( K2 d
- G- f/ L: F/ n. c" jMany 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.
' }; t( f% y: a2 p. t9 a$ v% ?# A6 T" q- b) f: ^* [; Z
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
% F  ~+ a  N7 E  e/ T  P' Z$ J  }6 d  L: |
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.' n# Q' ^+ G: y+ y7 q

/ n/ L+ C9 d3 L. Y1 AFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / I% i- D9 v* h+ j4 e
