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.  S. q# X' K0 ^

7 q5 M/ W2 b% C2 o( U7 aMany 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.
. a9 @2 X9 z0 ]! v7 M/ X

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.   I) e) G3 W# g0 H! I! Y8 v
