Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, % z/ q: Y: f6 S( u

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 7 W4 S* c& o) u, a ) z: b/ Z4 T8 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. 6 K% G6 u! F! w( k+ b9 M0 E/ i8 T6 [
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
