Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hi Eloise Natural CLA is in NO WAY a hydrogenated oil. Like most unnatural supplements the body may not positively respond to 'fake' isolated CLA or most isolated supplements. In natural form it includes a balance of n3 and n6 to help give the available electron laden with biophotons and add to the mitochondria of cell integrity and total body energy (life force). http://netscape.menshealth.com/cda/article/0,6916,s1-6-0-0-690-3-5X9X13-4,00.htm\ l " THE TRANS FAT YOU NEED With all the evidence against trans fats, there's now data showing that at least one distant member of the trans fat family may actually be good for you. The compound in question?conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)?is a naturally occurring fat found primarily in beef and dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese. Consider it the white sheep of the black-hearted trans fat family. CLA has no relation to partially hydrogenated oils, but the structure of the molecules in CLA is similar enough to that of trans fats that scientists place them both in the same category. " http://www.westonaprice.org/caustic_comments/winter2001.html " (Cancer Lett 1997, 114:251-53). Swedish researchers attributed the protective effects to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is found in milk fat. The problem is, milk drinkers in the US today are unlikely to take in much CLA from milk, partly because confinement dairying methods, which are the norm in America, deny cows green growing grass, without which they cannot produce CLA, and also because most women today are avoiding whole milk. Even if the cows producing our milk are grass-fed, it does no good to drink the milk if the fat is not there. " http://www.sciencenews.org/20010303/bob9.asp " But nobody's laughing about it now. Several hundred published studies of CLA's effects in animals and a few preliminary experiments with people have since suggested an array of health benefits from the unusual trans fats. David Kritchevsky of the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia sees more than a little irony here. In recent years, animal fats have been scorned as promoters of chronic disease. The possibility that the trans fats in CLA offer health benefits and are naturally " only found in animal fat is proof God has a sense of humor, " he says. " http://www.mercola.com/beef/cla.htm " There is a new reason why it may be beneficial to allow cows to graze on pasture. That reason involves a compound called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is a fatty acid found in beef and dairy fats. Scientific interest in CLA was stimulated in 1988 when a University of Wisconsin researcher discovered its cancer-fighting properties in a study of rats fed fried hamburger. CLA cannot be produced by the human body, but it can be obtained through foods such as whole milk, butter, beef, and lamb. " The interesting thing is that dairy cattle that graze produce higher amounts of CLA in their milk than those which receive conserved feed, such as grain, hay, and silage, " says Agricultural Research dairy scientist Larry Satter. This is true even when the nongrazers eat pasture grass conserved as hay. " , " Eloise Bailey " <pray@w...> wrote: > Thanks, JoAnn. I shall look into CLA.
