»: Conjugated Linoleic Acid, a Harbinger of Health
"It doesn't make a big fat cell get little. What it rather does is keep a little fat cell from getting big." reported Dr. Michael Pariza, who has been conducting research on CLA with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
It has more than a weight loss benefit and is regarded as one of the major anti oxidants in our diet.
CLA is a fatty acid that is active in insulin usage and the ability of muscles to absorb fatty acids and glucose. It is also involved with optimizing the immune system.
Beef, dairy products and food sources from grazing animals that are fed on fresh grass as opposed to silage and hay fed animals, is higher in this beneficial nutrient. Women that drink organic milk have shown much higher levels of CLA in their breastmilk, this is most likely due to the grazing methods used. Pasture fed cows produce 500% more of this nutrient than cows fed on preserved feed.
"The interesting thing is that dairy cattle that are pasture fed 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.
Dr. Michael Pariza studies show that of two groups of dieting overweight participants, those that had a supplement of CLA and a placebo control group; whilst there was no direct gain in weight loss between the two, there was a marked difference between the regaining of weight that was lost during the study. More muscle was gained by those that had the supplement.
Whilst this is not a magic solution to obesity, when used in conjunction with exercise and healthy eating habits it has many possible benefits.

Still not able to lose weight / regain you figure ?
The two main bariatric procedures at this time are the Gastric Balloon Surgery (BIBs), and the Adjustable Gastric Band (Lap Band Surgery).
More radical, permanent (non reversible procedure) procedures which are common, are the Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Wrap and Gastric Bypass/BPD.
When should these bariatric surgery procedures be considered?
BIB / Gastric Balloon
BMI from about 28, but from less if secondary conditions.
Temporary - Removed no later than after 6-7 months.
Lap Band
BMI from 35, but from about 32-35, if secondary conditions.
Permanent / For life if needed - Fully Reversible (in most cases, and dependant on duration of placement).
Gastric Sleeve
BMI from 40 - Alternative option to that of a having a Lap Band.
Permanent / For life - Non-Reversible.
Gastric Wrap
BMI from 40 - Alternative option to that of a having a Lap Band or Sleeve.
Semi-Permanent / For life - Can be reversed if needed.
Gastric Bypass/BPD
BMI from 40 or higher.
Permanent / For life - Non-Reversible.
What is BMI? - [MORE DETAILS]
At present, statistics illustrate that 40% of men and 30% of women in the UK are overweight. 'Overweight' is defined as a person who has a BMI, a Body Mass Index, of greater than 27.
Persons with a BMI of 30 are defined as obese and those with a BMI over 35 are deemed to be morbidly obese. (See chart below).
