Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, , m! y8 d3 h" U

& ~1 z; a0 T) e1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
6 X( H# J2 G0 p/ d
0 Z' [+ G; s* Z+ E- m* BMany 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.

7 z5 S% n7 `0 j. dFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. : K: y  R1 n5 t* I% `1 {& ?
