Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 CLA: Fat-Burning Miracle Worker? A potential functional food ingredient and food additive is creating a stir in research circles and may eventually find its way into a range of products. CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), a natural free fatty acid, can help burn fat five to 10 times the normal rate while increasing muscle tissue, according to results of three research projects in Norway and Sweden. A Finnish study found a link between incidence of breast cancer and consumption of full-fat milk, which is higher in CLA. Women who drank a lot of full-fat milk were found to be at reduced risk, while those with low CLA levels in breast tissue had a much higher cancer risk. In another experiment, the addition of CLA to dairy cow feed actually produced low-fat milk because of CLA's fat-burning properties. Researchers are looking at the possibility of adding CLA directly to milk, rather than to the feed. ********************************** I began taking CLA/Tonalin two years ago. I dropped 40 lbs in 10 months and had not felt so healthy in many years. The protein in tonalin also helps to burn carbs -- something that is very much in the news nowadays. I believe in this supplement, but please do your own research. Have any of you tried Tonalin? What were your results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
