; J2 G+ Q+ h! V* T+ h" h6 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.
5 E" P4 Y& n6 p' I* t% J, E: ~! e9 e8 p% p. ]- w  M2 E
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. - c( T: ]. l& F/ `- o' j
