Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 z9 B7 ]) G0 L

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

: i' ]1 H- e5 A& a0 ^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.
8 s# r* P" s) U) X' }7 ^7 D; N" z3 j! ~7 ?, \' K' N
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. 1 y% X0 n1 Z( {1 g  c! [

A balance diet, and exercise regularly : D7 s' J& y$ u( G
