I saw some old posts/threads about CLA and folks seemed a bit worried about it; I am curious if people are still concerned. Is it something to be avoided? My understanding is that organic butter from grass-fed cows is high in CLA, which at least some of you guys are in favor of and which the Whole Health Source blog also recommends. So where are people on CLA? Does it cause insulin resistence, as previously mentioned? If so, supplementing with CLA is probably not a good idea, right? What about that grass-fed butter: still such a good choice? Or grass-fed bison/buffalo for that matter?

Sorry, didn't see this thread.

This is my current stand on the subject:

I took it for almost a year and saw no difference. My mother, on the other hand, lost a bunch of weight on it. She discontinued it, however, as things go...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I'll stick with dietary sources of CLA and avoid supplementation.

I heard that they fixed the CLA ratio problem of good to bad now being at 80% instead of 50. I think the LEF brand version is fixed, don't know, I don't take CLA, and don't see any reason to.
