"Add Conjugated Linoleic Acid Then there's CLA (which stands for conjugated linoleic acid). Whenever I'm asked to comment about trans fats and I go into the whole speech about "the right amount of trans fats in the human diet is zero," I always have to remind myself to add this caveat: I'm talking about man-made trans fats (e.g., partially hydrogenated oils). There's actually one trans fat, believe it or not, that's found naturally and is one of the most beneficial fats you can consume." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"For most of our food animals, a diet of grass means much healthier fats (more omega-3s and conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA; fewer omega-6s and saturated fat) in their meat, milk, and eggs, as well as appreciably higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants. Sometimes you can actually see the difference, as when butter is yellow or egg yolks bright orange: What you're seeing is the beta-carotene from fresh green grass. It's worth looking for pastured animal foods in the market and paying the premium they typically command." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Other dietary lipids, including gamma linolenic acid and conjugated linoleic acid, may play anti-inflammatory roles by modifying lipid and nonlipid mediators of the inflammatory response [38-40], but additional studies are needed in IBD applications. 4. Sugar and a Refined Diet In earlier reports, consumption of sucrose, refined cereals, fast foods, and fat was positively associated with either the incidence or onset of inflammatory bowel disease [22, 41, 42]." - Ann M.

"It also has less vitamin E, beta-carotene, and two health-promoting fats called omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA. This story of confinement, poor food, antibiotics, and lower nutritional value is also true for pigs, chickens, sheep, turkeys, and ducks. Unfortunately, even some organic products come from animals that are raised in confinement and fed grains." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"It contains more conjugated linoleic acid (a component of fat that boosts fat-burning and the buildup of lean muscle mass), more omega-3 fats, and vitamin A. In addition, it has less fat, cholesterol, and calories. Farms that specialize in grass-fed cattle are also better for the environment. Cattle allowed to graze on large areas of land are easier on the land and pollute less than do factory farm animals." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Other products, including psyllium, guar gum, chitosan, chromium, and conjugated linoleic acid have shown no effect on weight loss, although they have no major potential toxicities. Diet and Behavioral Solutions As I mentioned, Italy doesn't seem to have any obese people, and now I am going to tell you why. It isn't genetics. It isn't exercise (they don't even run for the train). It's this: They don't eat in fast-food restaurants. Why not? Because they correctly believe that their mothers can cook something for them that's just as good." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Studies show that some probiotics can reduce Bifidobacteria probiotics may participate in the metabolism of various compounds including the omega-6 fatty acid, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is thought to have anti-cancer effects. By helping the body work with CLA, probiotics can indirectly help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Are there specific probiotic strains that are known to have anticancer effects in the colon? No, there are no known anti-cancer probiotic strains." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"The ruminant-produced TFA vaccenic acid (CI8:1 Al It) is a precursor to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Because of the substantive evidence base, industrially produced TFA and their effects on CVD risk will be emphasized. The DRI report recommended that TFA intake be kept as low as possible as any increase in TFA intake will negatively impact CVD risk [12]. NCEP ATP III also recommends that TFA consumption be kept as low as possible while the AHA recommends that TFA intake be kept at 1% of energy or below [63]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Range-fed animals also contain ten times as much conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) as grain-fed animals. CLA is a slightly altered form of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. It occurs naturally in meat and dairy products. CLA was discovered in 1978 when researchers at the University of Wisconsin were looking for cancer-causing compounds that result from cooking. Instead, they found CLA, which appears to be an anticancer compound." - Michael T.

"One reason for this might be the decrease in consumption of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is vital for good health. It is found in beef, lamb, turkey and some milk products. Human beings are unable to convert linoleic acid into the needed amount of conjugated linoleic acid. Decreased intake of conjugated linoleic acid and alterations in the manner of production and processing of the foods that contain CLA have led to overweight. Here's the problem: if there is inadequate intake of CLA, dietary fat cannot be moved into cells or used as energy." - James A. Howenstine, MD, A Physician's Guide To Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Take 3-4 g a day of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been shown to reduce body fat and change body composition in general. Chromium, taken at 500 meg twice a day, helps to relieve cravings for sweet foods and stabilizes blood sugar. Take 100-300 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) three times a day to increase feelings of fullness and decreases carbohydrate cravings. However, do not use this supplement if you are taking antidepressants or medication for anxiety. Pyruvate has shown to help some with weight loss when combined with exercise and a low-fat diet; take 20-40 g daily." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"The one single exception is the trans fat CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, which is found naturally in grass-fed dairy and meat and is not man-made.) • Monounsaturated fat—found in nuts and olive oil—is good stuff and heart healthy. • Polyunsaturated fats come in two "flavors": omega-6s and omega-3s. While there are some health benefits to omega-6s, we get too many omega-6s and not enough omega-3s. There are three different omega-3 fats: One of them is found in flaxseed and is called ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"The primary ingredient is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). OILY SKIN Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous (oil-secreting) glands produce more oil than is needed for proper lubrication of the skin. This excess oil can clog pores and cause blemishes. Oily skin is probably largely a matter of heredity, but it is known to be affected by factors such as diet, hormone levels, pregnancy, birth control pills, and the cosmetics you use. Humidity and hot weather both stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"These fatty acids were collectively called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is produced from the linoleic acid commonly found in corn that the cow eats. From the cow's rumen, CLA is then absorbed and gets stored in the meat and milk of the animal, eventually to be consumed by humans. The big payday for The Airport Club was when initial tests on experimental mice suggested that CLA might help to block the formation of stomach tumors produced by a weak chemical carcinogen called benzo(a)pyrene.n' 12 But there was a catch in this research." - T.

Campbell II, The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (Get the book.)

"However, milk fat also contains a number of bioactive components, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). conjugated linoleic acid has been shown to possess activities that prevent cancer and the formation of cholesterol-containing plaques that contribute to heart disease. Cheese provides many of the same nutritional benefits and health benefits attributed to milk, and it usually contains beneficial bacteria that produce propionic acid, which nourishes the cells of the colon and lowers blood cholesterol levels." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"CLA (page 499) A double-blind trial found that exercising individuals taking 1,800 mg per day of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) lost more body fat after 12 weeks than did a similar group taking a placebo.84 However, two other studies found that amounts of CLA from 0.7 to 3.0 grams per day did not affect body composition.85, 86 Most double-blind trials have found that larger amounts of CLA, 3.4 to 4." - Alan R.

"Good fats" are found in the omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), which include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and are also known as "good" polyunsaturated fats. Although the body cannot produce these fats, they can be found in cold water fatty fish, fish oil, flax seed oil, deep green vegetables, algae, and some nuts. It is important to be aware that there are numerous dietary and lifestyle factors that can decrease and even eliminate any potential benefits that may be obtained through consuming EFAs." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Meat has gone from being a good food that accumulated essential fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid from grazing, into a food that is bad for health. Feed-lot raised cattle are fed sorghum, a high sugar waste product of sugar mills and grain which helps them gain weight rapidly. These feed-lot cattle produce stearic acid fat which, when eaten by humans, causes elevation of cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol. Chemical pesticides become concentrated in fat tissue. In 1991, 36 nations studied the consumption of animal and dairy fat." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.) "This meat has high levels of the desired Omega 3 fatty acids and 5 times more of healthy conjugated linoleic acid than feedlot cattle. My guess is that struggling cattle ranchers might be delighted to find a ready market for their beef at higher prices. Ask at your local health food store. Local people who are health conscious may know local sources. Check around and you may be pleasantly surprised to find good, safe beef available from small producers. A final solution could be to buy beef imported from Argentina. Argentine beef is grazed and is superb." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.) "Decreased intake of conjugated linoleic acid and alterations in the manner of production and processing of the foods that contain CLA have led to overweight. Here's the problem: if there is inadequate intake of CLA, dietary fat cannot be moved into cells or used as energy. The end result is that the body stores this fat. You get, and will remain, fat. The two primary sources of CLA are beef and milk, both of which are consumed much less than in previous generations because of concerns about saturated fat." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.) "Furthermore, lack of conjugated linoleic acid may be contributing to problems with both arthritis and osteoporosis. The softgel contains 1000 mg of safflower oil, 750 mg of which is CLA. Therefore if you take 4 softgels daily you will get 3 grams of CLA daily, plus a small amount from your food. This supplement can be obtained under the name Tonalin from Mountain Home Nutritionals at 800- 888 1415 and from Natural Health Team 800-416-2806. Flax Oil One beneficial effect seen in persons using flax oil is improved metabolism." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Good fats" are found in the omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), which include Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and are also known as "good" polyunsaturated fats. CLA is also beneficial for weight loss, and is normally found in soft gels, at your local health food store. Although the body cannot produce these fats, they can be found in cold water fatty fish, fish oil, flax seed oil, deep green vegetables, algae, and some nuts." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Interestingly, in grass-fed meat there are higher amounts of beneficial conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA has been noted for its anti-carcinogenic and body fat reducing effects. Is poultry a healthy source of protein in the diet? Poultry such as chicken and turkey can be a healthy source of protein if it is from organic, free-ranging animals able to access their natural diet. Another important factor to look for is poultry raised by farmers who do not use feed treated with pesticides and do not treat their stock with antibiotics or hormones." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"While important nutrients like carnitine, creatine, carnosine, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), vitamin B12, and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can only be found in animal foods, there is not a single vitamin, mineral or trace element found in cereal grains that cannot be supplied either by animal products or non-cereal plant foods like vegetables, fruits and nuts. Cereal grains and legumes also contain high concentrations of substances that researchers collectively classify as anti-nutrients. Among these are inositol hexaphosphate, more commonly known as phytate." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "Animal fat is the only significant dietary source of conjugated linoleic acid (fish and vegetable foods contain only trace amounts of CLA(45)), a unique fatty acid that has been shown repeatedly in animal studies to protect against cancer(46). Research with humans indicates that CLA may enhance immune function and, in diabetics, improve blood glucose control(47,48)." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)
