! _: W, E; G' kBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - A3 o: C9 @+ k4 q$ O7 |. {* e) P- @

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.6 g  h5 U* `. ?$ R# ]6 j

1 f- b; v7 U. U; @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. # a0 q! O/ `- i( ~6 b! u/ x

  ?, R/ ~2 t# s# JA balance diet, and exercise regularly
$ |/ q3 ^3 p6 ^8 n4 b8 R, i8 W! U& K: q. E/ r7 @6 R+ `3 m
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , V% J4 N6 ]3 R5 _" B1 S6 x0 N
