As you will learn from reading that article, there are many problems with traditionally raised beef. Cattle were not designed to eat grains; they were designed to eat grass. A whole series of nasty side effects occur when you feed grains to cattle.


One such effect is that you shut off their production of many beneficial fats. CLA is a classic one. As the above study shows, CLA is useful for a variety of problems, and control of diabetes is an important one.

There are two primary ways to receive CLA. One is through milk products and the other is meat. However, it will only be in those foods if the animal was not fed any grains.


Please don’t let some of these highly deceptive marketers fool you. Many stores will advertise beef as grass-fed, because virtually ALL cattle are grass-fed initially. But what matters is what they are fed in the months prior to their slaughter, not what they are fed initially, and most cattle are fed grains during this time.


When commercial cattle are fed grain, and this includes nearly all of them, it causes them to stop virtually all CLA production. So, what you want is grain-free beef and cow’s milk
That part sucks!

Yes it sucks! I had to draw the line somewhere though. I would love to eat organic and buy all my food at natural food stores. There is a brand new one here in Andover thats really cool too. Its the size of a regular grocery store, but its expensive and I can't afford it either.

Does anyone here take CLA ? My aunt raised her own beef and the steaks tasted so good "different" grass or grain or both I don't remember. Fresh beef on the grill um um good

Posted by: Dr. Pain

I also read the best time to take CLA is post-workout (??) I usually take Pro-Complex protein shake after workout and just started adding Optimum Nutrition's CGT10 (nutrition info below) :

Amount per Serving: 2 TEASPOONS

Calories 20
Total Carbohydrate 5g
Creatine Monohydrate 5g
L-Glutamine 3g
Taurine 2g
Inulin 5g

Is this a good idea to take at same time or wait??
