D O8 ]; Z5 H- X% p4 o0 [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. * t" G& s8 B2 a& [8 ]6 L) W. o; x: l. j3 }& _
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
