CLA are fatty acids produced by ruminant microorganisms and are therefore found predominantly in milk and beef. Fed to mice with adult-onset (Type 2) diabetes, CLA seemed to work in the same mechanism as synthetic diabetes drugs.

"And compared to the synthetic drugs used to treated this disease, CLA does not cause weight gain and may in fact decrease overall body fat," said Vanden Heuvel, who has been granted a patent on the new method of treating diabetes with CLA.
