 "Because the levels of CLAs in milk and meat are so low, researchers study health effects by giving people cla supplements —and in amounts much higher than those ever found in food. I am not aware of CLA studies involving cancer prevention (those would be difficult to do), but the few human studies of other conditions that have been done to date should not convince you that cla supplements improve blood cholesterol levels, body weight, or immune function. Maybe the very low levels of CLAs in meat and milk improve health better than the higher-dose supplements, but it is too soon to tell."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "Indeed, they are so different that proponents of grass feeding and purveyors of cla supplements talk about CLAs as nothing short of a new miracle "drug." In rats and mice, the CLA "drug" appears to do wonders for prevent- ing cancer, which is reason enough to attract interest. But in other animals, CLAs are also said to prevent or reduce symptoms of diabetes, heart disease, bone diseases, and immune system disorders. Any list of benefits this long should make you suspicious and, in this case, some skepticism is warranted." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "I am not aware of CLA studies involving cancer prevention (those would be difficult to do), but the few human studies of other conditions that have been done to date should not convince you that cla supplements improve blood cholesterol levels, body weight, or immune function. Maybe the very low levels of CLAs in meat and milk improve health better than the higher-dose supplements, but it is too soon to tell. At the moment, CLAs are another issue for which "more research is needed," and are not yet a compelling reason to eat grass-fed beef. Ah, but what about the taste of grass-fed beef?" - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
