7 i5 o, E5 [: J* A! ?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.0 _/ \7 _: b, h; G3 `

5 D4 u1 Q7 N, A0 }Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs.
