Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, % S, r; o7 n2 z7 C
! \8 U. ^; g$ R! u+ x
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 0 A+ n/ K) j: T- ]7 o, ^' U% C
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. # ~' I* o$ }+ N+ H8 X# Q7 _" U& w

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.
9 A4 y; l8 v" h* n* p# U; z6 v
3 i3 c/ a7 u* @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.
