Here's punch 1: cla inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells, as shown in laboratory (in vitro) studies. Punch 2: cla inhibits the development of new blood vessels in the mammary or breast gland, which reduces the rate of mammary tumor growth.
How do we harness the potential power of cla without the potential risks that come with eating too much animal fat? By eating small portions of meat and dairy as part of a mostly plant-based diet, says the AICR. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Preliminary animal and test tube studies show that cla might reduce the risk of cancers at several sites, including the breast, prostate, colon, rectum, lung, skin, and stomach. In addition to its cancer-fighting effects, cla is also showing some hope for prevention of diabetes and heart disease as well. In animal and preliminary human studies cla normalizes impaired glucose tolerance in non-insulin-dependent diabetes. cla has also been shown to help promote maintenance of weight loss.11

See book keywords and concepts |  It was amazing how many new supplements had been introduced—stevia, pyruvate, NADH, cla (conjugated linoleic acid), silica, chi-tosan, androstenedione, shark liver oil, 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, ultimate protein powders, stinging nettles, DHA (not DHEA, but docosahexaenoic acid), and others. Outlandish claims were made about a few of these supplements by some of their promoters. What were these claims based on? Nothing convincing. Sometimes a simple laboratory study done in an obscure part of the world on a small group of mice. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They call it cla (or conjugated linoleic acid). cla is technically a long-chain, carbon-based molecule which:
• stops bacteria from mutating;
• prevents the formation of cancer in mice; and
• reduces by half the development of warts (6).
"In three independent experiments, mice treated with cla developed only about half as many" cancers per animal as mice in the control groups, said Dr. Y. L. Ha. cla was a more potent antioxidant than vitamin E (7). cla, says Dr. Pariza, is "more powerful than any other fatty acids or dietary fat...in modulating tumor development. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  The researchers divided 118 overweight subjects into two groups and gave one of them about 3 g per day of cla and the other group a placebo. Those assigned to the cla group lost a little more than 3 percent of body fat mass (compared to about a tenth of 1 percent in the placebo group).

Description: cla is a varied form of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. It is found in the red meat of cattle that are fed natural grasses. It is also found in eggs, poultry, and safflower and corn oil. cla is mainly used as a supplement to reduce body fat. Animal and test tube studies have demonstrated its anticancer properties, but these results have yet to be proven in human studies.
Indications: Cancer prevention Weight loss
Precautions: There are occasional reports of digestive upset. Dosage: Take 1,000 mg two to three times daily. |

By eating small portions of meat and dairy as part of a mostly plant-based diet, says the AICR. I'll do you one better: Because dairy products contain the highest natural level of cla among all dietary sources, how about we include a couple of servings of lower-fat dairy every day? Several other health programs already recommend this, including the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet for reducing heart disease and for osteoporosis prevention.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Add)
There have been some very promising studies on cla, a fatty acid found in beef, lamb, and dairy products. A substantial amount of research has shown it to reduce the incidence and size of tumors and, in some research, the amount of body fat on both animals and humans. However, as of this writing, some disturbing studies have appeared showing that cla supplementation increased insulin resistance in obese men as well as C-reactive protein, a risk factor for heart disease. |

Particularly harmful to human health are cured or smoked meats, such as ham, hot dogs, bacon, and jerky that contain sodium nitrate and/or sodium nitrites, which are compounds that keep food from spoiling but dramatically increase the risk for cancer. These chemicals react with the amino acids in foods in the stomach to form highly carcinogenic compounds known as nitrosamines. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Also, cla increases the tissue level of saturated fats that could (using our dramatic method of interpretation) exacerbate heart disease risk. Of course, I have taken these two unrelated effects grossly out of context in my example. I don't really know whether these cla effects actually translate into less fertility and more heart disease for humans, but if I were playing the game the way industry enthusiasts do, I wouldn't mind. It would make a great headline, and that can go a long way. | | He showed that he could increase cla in cow's milk by feeding the animals more corn oil.
The Ithaca Journal article, although only in a local, hometown newspaper, really was a dream come true for the sponsors of The Airport Club. The headline delivers a powerful but very simple message to the public: drinking milk reduces cancer risk. I know that media people like punchy statements so, initially, I suspected that the reporter had made claims beyond what the researchers had said. |

See book keywords and concepts |  One thing grass-eaters do is make cla (conjugated linolenic acid), an important nutrient that supports healthy metabolism. Grass-eaters also concentrate omega-3 oils in their fat, especially the important DHA which is friendly to the heart and vital for brain function. cla and DHA are missing from the fast-food animals, making them highly inferior in nutritional value.
It takes four to five years for a grass-fed steer to weigh enough to go to market. On the other hand, it takes sixteen months or so to swell a steer to the desirable weight when pumped full of growth hormone and fed junk food. |

Green tea is a natural option to reduce both TNFa and NF kappaB.823 Green tea modulates, in a positive manner, genetic signals that otherwise lead to an excess production of NF kappaB in breast-cancer cells.824 Therefore, green tea has the ability to help the body kill cancerous breast cells, while leaving healthy breast cells undamaged. |

• Monounsaturated fat—found in nuts and olive oil—is good stuff and heart healthy.
• Polyunsaturated fats come in two "flavors": omega-6s and omega-3s. While there are some health benefits to omega-6s, we get too many omega-6s and not enough omega-3s.
There are three different omega-3 fats: One of them is found in flaxseed and is called ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). | | Lean, organic red meat: Genetically perfect for carnivores and one of the only sources of cla, a kind of fat that helps people lose weight.
7. Sea vegetables: These often-overlooked foods contain iodine and protein, and are perfect for vegetarians.
8. Lentils and beans: Legumes contain many naturally occurring B vitamins and protein for those who wish to consume less animal protein.

Grass-fed Farmers Organic "In Spirit"
A final reason to choose grass-fed meat is that most grass farmers avoid the use of many of the chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics that we'd like to keep out of our food. | | CLA in the diet has reduced tumor burden by more than 50 percent.
Now that we've talked about cows, let's move on to the chickens and the eggs. Free-range? Omega-3? Let's take a look.
The Advantages of Organic, Free-Range Chicken and Eggs
I've always bought free-range chickens and the eggs that come from them. The advantages are enormous. Just like the natural diet of humans is that which we can hunt, fish, gather, or pluck, the natural diet of farm animals is what they can graze or forage for (insects, worms, wild plants, grass).
