0 ^' r' g/ X+ z2 L* i2 NBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
) `# O0 y, [9 d) k: \( [' P; R2 F2 o( x* W3 Y- l$ J8 {5 z
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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 2 q" @3 G% `' J

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 0 a  l) m! L+ R& d8 {7 p

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
' I/ M" }* U# T! Y  C$ `5 L5 \; o2 a& Z. i3 i( b& j
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

( i% V4 t6 q9 R) \! i: a6 CTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.' w. T9 ~( c2 Q8 M6 ^
