Hey, thanks for you opinion. Without any research to back it up I would have to say you are talking out your butt, but that's par for the course here anyway right. I'm not saying it is some miracle drug, it is just a form of Fatty Acid after all. I don't take it personally (no problems with weight) but have researched it and know others who have had good results. So post up your findings...
Um... I'm not a research scientists so I can't do any research on CLA. I can read some lame reports that other people post though, which isn't research. It's called reading crap... Did you even read the report that you linked? It's a bunch of crap. No control on diet or exercise. 'Study' performed on morbidly obese slobs. The very fact that you can find this product at GNC being pushed as a fat loss supplement says everything.
Sorry to everyone else for derailing an otherwise interesting thread.
