Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 _+ u3 ^; N4 [* b) w. t+ b# V

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
- j: V* p9 Y5 k3 b/ ?7 h
' D3 A1 B! H! t6 E) N2 ]9 p$ L( RMany 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. 8 ~' u+ f" X) s/ t( U( J6 J  `

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
