Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 0 K  ]1 Q0 Z' i  B# s! L6 j

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.
# G; h1 R% X/ q) w+ U
7 h1 M$ l5 a6 {7 S  LMany 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.
