Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, + K0 \! c9 b" D

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; c8 I' j) p: u0 O$ _3 ^

% W* v- L" O$ T. _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.% w5 h. p: P3 @5 ~. C

1 v8 R7 `/ v5 {9 Y  @/ L3 E! T2 ZMany 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.

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