: h( P) ?8 X2 W6 [ c : b$ p. J; x$ YBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 0 @3 c$ z! q* d

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. - m3 K; R3 l& U) [ 5 K6 o/ i) {2 l6 s. X9 s5 q2) 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.& H* a1 @ Y7 l, I( r- k# t
3 F( E+ M% J R% h, j
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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 4 g2 Q& ^* ^8 f) d$ x
8 B2 q$ X9 s. l2 X) y A5 WA balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 ^- d9 p0 e: }' L& y! U. F# d8 Z8 U9 K
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.+ k2 N( ]1 S+ f3 \! Z
