Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a family of at least 28 isomers of linoleic acid found abundantly in the meat and dairy products. In the randomized, double-blind study including 60 overweight or obese volunteers (body mass index 25-35 kg/m(2)) divided into five groups receiving placebo (9 g olive oil), 1.7, 3.4, 5.1 or 6.8 g conjugated linoleic acid per day for 12 wk, 47 completed the study, conducted by Scandinavian Clinical Research AS(1), indicated that conjugated linoleic acid may reduce BFM in humans and that no additional effect on BFM is achieved with doses > 3.4 g CLA/d.(1)
