    Many CLA studies do not take into account which isomers are associated with which effects.

    In humans, changing the location of one double bond in a fatty acid can make the difference between protecting against heart disease and aggravating heart disease.

    Also, rats/mice do not have the same biochemical pathways as humans. That is why we have to consume omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids (they are essential because humans can't make them.. but other organisms can)

    Readers beware, do your own research!
