Subject: Studies indicate CLA may hinder fat gain.
New studies in both the U.S. and in Norway reveal that CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) may provide help to overweight people, particularly in lowering the amount of fat regained after a diet. In a study performed at the University of Wisconsin the persons on CLA regained less fat and more muscle than the non-CLA group. For the CLA group, the regained weight was about 50 percent fat and 50 percent muscle. But Jo Ann Hattner, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, cautions, “Everyone is always looking for something that will help us with being overweight, but there needs to be much more research.” Still, the studies do show promising potential, while a third study alludes to a drug form of CLA improving insulin levels in type 2 diabetics.
