4 P% {  C% x  W# _( y! }7 y5 J3 |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.

  x+ i/ S$ ]8 Q6 B. p# `9 XMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs.
