It's not a press release, it's a story in a mainstream news source about a study showing that CLA helps overweight people lose fat. You can follow the links and read the actual study for yourself. |

Um no. Look again. At the very top of the page it says "press release", and the source is Cognis Nutrition & Health, a supplier of CLA and the supporter of the study. There is no link to the study in the press release, only to the Tonalin and Cognis Nutrition sites. It is also only one study, and one that has a bias at the very least.. You need to understand the entirety of the research to make a conclusion. I read all of the existing studies when I wrote a review article on CLA September 2001, but since my review was written almost three years ago, I referenced two more recent review articles that have referenced literature published after I wrote my review., If you want to make your conclusion on this single, biased study, that showed minimal results at best, be my guest. BTW, if you'd like a link to the article, which appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it is: http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/6/1118 You need a subscription for full text, but since I have one, I'd be happy to e-mail it to you.

It's a press release courtesy of Yahoo Finance. CLA? I've been on it for a month. I'm I getting ripped off? Maybe, but it's not like it's a lot of money. Am I ripped? Close, but not quite there. I'm in the best shape of my adult life though. CLA!! CLA!! |

Walking, biking, windsurfing, paddling, swimming.. whatever. This once obese 44 yr old now almost has abs. I *think* CLA has helped. Anyway, I'm buying another bottle. |

anything. If you're happy, I'm happy. CLA probably doesn't help, but it definitely won't hurt you. Good luck, Barbara Hirsch, Publisher OBESITY MEDS AND RESEARCH NEWS The latest in obesity research and weight loss drug development http://www.obesity-news.com/ 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." |
