( V; I. U* w A. N6 n/ x* x% \5 \Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ' R0 [0 W! C7 i8 S8 i3 _
5 s2 s, j# l4 ^# `/ s* A
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - `( e9 s3 o1 B" Y- I: n2 m
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 9 G& E+ j. A5 _
5 D4 x+ Y" G* ~+ T8 b2) 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. w0 a7 X& D1 [6 d+ z
& r( f% R4 o' _; C! Z ?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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / C) P8 f; M7 a9 c2 T6 P" X. B; _8 V, }. ~( c0 l
