CLA: The Cancer-Fighting Fat

Choose only grass-fed to get this cell-protecting nutrient

by Shane Ellison

Researchers have uncovered an extremely potent cancer fighter in the form of a naturally occurring fat: conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It has been shown to slow the growth of a variety of tumors, including cancers of the skin, breast, prostate and colon. On top of that, it helps your body shed fat and promote lean muscle mass.

So, where can you get this beneficial nutrient? Don’t bother with the synthetic version promoted as a diet aid or muscle builder. Mother Nature is the absolute best source.

The most abundant sources of natural CLA are the meat and dairy products from grass-fed animals. But grass-fed only. As soon as you feed grain to cattle, they lose their ability to produce CLA.

Pasture-grazed animals have up to 400 percent more CLA than animals fed a diet of grain.
