anything. If you're happy, I'm happy. CLA probably
doesn't help, but it definitely won't hurt you.

Good luck,

What about the more recent research (particularily the studies done
amoung teenage girls) that shows milk helps maintain weight (helps to
prevent obesity)? Don't you think that CLA may be a factor there?
I'm not sure about CLA in isolation, or with Green Tea extract etc,
but combined with the calcium, fat and other nutrients in milk, I
wouldn't be at all surprised to find it's a contributor to a
'synergistic blend'. Also, there is recent research that shows much
is to be said for the reduction in the size of fat cells (rather than
just decreasing the volume ie. via liposuction)

Also, are you aware of some recent research showing the anti-cancer
properties of CLA (specifically against breast cancer?) It seems fat
and amino acids are a vastly understudied area just beginning to come
to light (DHA, GLA, etc.)

"A particularly significant double-blind, randomized,
placebo-controlled study with CLA, published in the International
Journal of Obesity, found an average reduction of one inch to the
waistlines of 25 men over a four week study period, with no
cardiovascular risk or other side effects."
