Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ J5 F! b. L3 _. l! b

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.( B& d. Q/ X8 }+ c+ r$ W

) y1 p1 _/ G& f# M) P7 u+ D: UMany 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.
