Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

5 s( L  m+ E5 n% G* B$ ?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.7 o* O/ m1 m: ]" j* m7 n
2 ^1 _" T( Q# }5 b- Q1 m
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.
