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

& o1 h. {; P' A, ]" A) i2) 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.
2 p4 _4 e% M0 e* ]3 f4 a3 a" B
* Z3 ]1 I" L) Z3 u" MMany 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. ( ?/ S- L: C1 c1 R4 S# M0 x% Y

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
