Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 7 [# W; u5 d/ v, \9 j$ l0 j

2 h" {- u' y0 b9 I- B2) 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.) S' _' Y% g2 V

3 L! F- }6 m( a3 n" J+ t( M, nMany 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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ) g3 s( X& n  M5 M  l4 {* h
