CLA Fights Obesity and Diabetes

EatingFabulous.com reports that a compound in milk called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may fight obesity. In a study from the British Journal of Nutrition, overweight or obese people who took CLA supplements had significantly less body fat mass. They also increased their lean body mass measurements.

EatingFabulous.com also reports that CLA may treat diabetes. Vanden Heuvel holds a patent on treating diabetes with CLA. He says that “compared to the synthetic drugs used to treat this disease, CLA does not cause weight gain and may in fact decrease overall body fat.”
