CLA
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a family of many different molecules of linoleic acid. They are found mostly in the meat and dairy products of cows, sheep, and goats. Studies show that CLA may help reduce body fat, especially that dangerous band of body fat around the abdomen.
Dietary sources for CLA include dairy products, especially from cows and lambs, kangaroo meat, and eggs. Some studies indicate that it may increase insulin resistance in some people, which can lead to diabetes. There are other indications that it could increase certain types of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, so check with your doctor before you take any CLA supplements.
