Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
# O- j- E  @: S1 m0 [$ w/ f9 ?: b1 \6 R5 c5 i. b$ Z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

& ~, `" }9 s. a- }( y" @) a$ W2) 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. `" }3 Y- |: E; f
9 A8 a( b" J  e. `. k' K* n
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.
