Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ u. U1 Q! M6 L) _  a7 ]- d

5 i. C3 a, b( |/ w! o8 K2) 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.4 k$ ^, G  V  \9 H8 s! I

' i4 i- }& N- x4 g& b8 _- |0 G9 {( `, V" XMany 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.
