Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 \9 ~+ d/ l" m, v 4 w7 Z5 R* x& K& z1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 0 {8 Q0 ]' y L8 JHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ! j- T7 T; }# B. K9 y

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. 3 J8 y5 J9 x# g+ \, v% K8 _5 Q % M/ X: l6 `0 ?! ]' i$ dMany 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

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.1 U9 s" K r/ I
