High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. - ]; ^, N4 n! n' s 3 i4 j V! b1 L( h0 v2) 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.; C: u9 ]7 a0 W! B
. \' o4 V6 P) g$ S, W0 {* t, SMany 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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
