Conjugated Linoleic Acid [CLA] Best Source

Of the 16 different types of CLA, the one which is found in beef and dairy products, identified as "cis-9, trans-11, CLA," seems to be the most potent cancer fighter in its family. It has an efficacy rate of 78% in reducing tumor growth in humans, beating the next best CLA type by 20% more. We shall be talking of this CLA type in this article.

Not a lot of people know that CLA is also found in nature, hence they have taken on the expensive synthetic CLA pills. This natural CLA form comes free with your diet and does not have any known negative side effects, such as those associated with the CLA pills. The meat and dairy products of grassfed animals, such as beef and lamb meat, whole milk, and butter, are the most abundant sources of natural CLA.


Do you know that just by getting your CLA from the right source, you can boost your CLA intake in your diet by as much as 500% ? Researches conducted since 1999 show that grazing animals which feed on grass have from 3-5 times more CLA than animals fattened on grain in a feedlot. Simply shifting your CLA source from grainfed to grassfed products can greatly increase your intake of CLA.

In a study conducted at the Dairy Forage Resarch Center in Madison, Wisconsin comparing the amount of CLA in the milk of grazing and non-grazing cows, Agricultural Research dairy scientist Larry Satter's findings confirm that milk of pasture grazing cows has 500% more CLA.

So there you are. To get the maximum amount of CLA in your diet and maximize your cancer protection, ascertain that your beef and dairy requirements come from grazing animals. They are the best source of potent cancer fighting conjugated linoleic acid [CLA].

As for your butter requirements, there's no known butter processor of grazing cow's milk in the US. There is an import, though, from Ireland, that is available in the market in selected outlets. It's Kerry Gold pure Irish butter, the image at your left.
