Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ' ]7 @3 E. o. p

: W  H& M: I# V0 ]9 l2) 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.# r- X8 S5 r! y, f" |: s" X
* V# y8 w2 G0 S& H/ Y) |
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.
