Would taking CLA pills be a good way to get an "extra" boost on burning fat?? instead of all those stimulant products like hydroxycut and stuff

"After analyzing the few studies published to date in reduced samples of healthy humans or patients with overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, or diabetes, we deduce that there is not enough evidence to show that conjugated linoleic acid has an effect on weight and body composition in humans."

MY COMMENT: The research isn't exactly a slam dunk in favor of CLA. some studies say yes, some say no, it's far from a sweep. But as with all things, if you put some blind faith in CLA, it will work via the placebo effect, regardless. I wouldn't personally spend a dime on it. Also, if you're a lactating mom, it can reduce the fat in your breastmilk, & compromise infant growth. CLA has also been seen to impair endothelial function. This means that indiscriminate CLA supping can potentially harm the vascular system. Booo..
