Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, + l' e  U3 \0 k& w" F

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
- P/ V1 {4 J+ X5 p: |- _4 K, L9 f- N2 o' R- k6 T8 @& I! x
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.
