1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # W* T, S& p. j1 kHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. . M' [* ~$ O( d$ ?% }% [ 9 I! V( _' o. g% c# }0 ~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.& B2 s, R' K$ R, U4 J( g5 Z& M
$ x, i3 |& g4 q0 @1 aMany 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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
