Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * e4 y$ `8 n# p8 a' w9 v

% m; |8 w& k  S% r3 N2) 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.3 E- e. R& o. `  X$ S
6 O1 x8 E3 X9 a  Z. k# B! A
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.
