The amount of CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA) in the
American diet has been lowered due to changes in the way we eat
and in how farmers are raising their cattle.
This can be seen as a contradiction: we
are consuming less CLA, but we are also seeing a large increase in
obesity.
Over the last 30 years, people worldwide
have made a fundamental change in the foods they eat. In an effort
to guard against the negative effects of heavy fat intake, people
now eat significantly less beef and dairy fats than they did just
a few years ago.
Despite all of this, people are steadily
gaining weight. In the United States alone, the number of
Americans who are at least 20 pounds overweight has grown from 25%
in 1985 to more than 34% today.
People only get CLA from the foods they
eat. CLA is found in a variety of foods in very small amounts;
beef and dairy fats contain the largest quantities. When cattle
eat grass, which is rich in linoleic acid, their digestive tract
converts the linoleic acid into conjugated linoleic acid, a
different molecule.
We get 80% less CLA in our diets today for
two reasons. Today, cows are seldom pasture grazed. Instead, they
are fed foods (grains and soy) which result in decreased CLA
production. Secondly, we also eat less red meat and dairy fats,
which also reduces the amount of CLA in our diets.
How CLA Works:
CLA "inhibits" the body's
ability to store fat. A recent scientific study shows CLA's
ability to inhibit lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme which breaks down
fat globules in the blood so that fat cells can more readily
absorb it and store it as body fat. The inhibition of lipoprotein
lipase results in reduced fat deposition.
CLA "prompts" the body to use
stored fats as energy. CLA increases the activity of hormone
sensitive lipase which breaks down fats stored in fat cells and
returns the fats to the blood stream to be used as an energy
source. CLA causes previously deposited fat to be used for the
energy needs of muscle cells and the liver.
VERIUNI DIET ASSIST CLA is the HOT
NEW diet supplement which has been found to:
1) KEEP FAT OFF
2) FEEL BETTER WHILE DIETING
3) REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE
4) REDUCE LDL
5) REDUCE TRIGLYCERIDES
6) PROTECT AGAINST BREAST CANCER
VERIUNI DIET ASSIST CLA, a class of fatty
acids found in milk and red meat, is now sold as a dietary
supplement, manufactured from sunflower oil.
The research in humans has shown a 20%
reduction in body fat for those taking CLA. Participants in a
90-day study were administered 3 grams of CLA daily with meals. In
a placebo-controlled study, the CLA group demonstrated a
significant reduction in body fat from 21.3% to 17.5% with an
average reduction of 7 pounds of fat.
No change was seen with the placebo group.
The benefits of less fat and increased muscle tone are numerous.
People look trimmer, feel more energetic, and have decreased
health risks.
People taking a placebo put pounds back on
at a ratio of 75% body fat, 25% lean muscle. Those that continued
taking CLA and regained weight showed a 45% body fat, 55% lean
muscle.
Pariza theorizes that CLA may help block
fat cells that are in the body from filling up with fat. CLA also
may have some effect on skeletal muscle, possibly stimulating
muscle growth and fat burning, Pariza says.
Dieters who took CLA reported no adverse
effects and had some reductions in blood pressure and LDL (bad)
cholesterol.
Other health benefits noted in the
literature include a potential reduction in breast cancer by CLA
blocking prostaglandin formation, prevent asthma attacks, and
lelaying the onset of type 2 diabetes and controlling the disease.
