Recent research has uncovered the benefits of another fatty acid, Trans-vaccenic Acid (TVA).  Laboratory studies have shown that TVA inhibits colon cancer and decreases fat accumulation.  Research has also shown that Trans-vaccenic Acid can be converted to Conjugated Linoleic Acid by the human body.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a derivative of linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids.  CLA may be one of the most potent cancer fighting substances in our diet.  In animal studies, CLA has blocked all three stages of cancer: initiation, promotion, and metastasis.  Conjugated Linoleic Acid is also used as a weight management tool.  It helps reduce fat and maintain muscle mass.

Scientific experiments have determined that when the ratio of omega-6 fats to omega-3 fats exceeds 4:1, people have more health problems.  Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for normal growth and may play an important role in the prevention and treatment of:

 - heart disease       -ADHD 

 -cancer                 -depression

 -Alzheimer's          - diabetes
