Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

( O; [1 a+ \8 ?4 C' d# j- ~- `3 m' q/ X1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

  y9 z5 t8 w; W& I" t2) 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# r& c5 s$ m' y) V# Z* a
! }( L1 Z5 _! X% fMany 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.
