* ?* w" j9 Z( c4 [) w" ^) Q2 qBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ( ^# {4 {6 A8 T  y

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

9 O, S1 v' Z9 N( L" g2) 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.3 Q9 m+ h+ y2 V" z8 c7 V
* o/ l3 p5 ~/ c
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.
