My brother in law calls that spaghetti!

Now THAT needs to be posted in a low carb thread!! It'd cure anyone!!

Just to be complete.....

CLAs were discovered accidentally by researchers looking for mutagens in beef. In 1979, researchers from the University of Wisconsin applied a beef extract to mice skin. The mice were then exposed to a strong carcinogen. When the researchers counted the number of tumors developed by the mice 16 weeks later, they found, to their surprise, that the mice exposed to the beef extract had 20% fewer tumors. The identity of this anti-carcinogen was not discovered until almost a decade later in 1987. Michael Pariza, the scientist who discovered CLA, later remarked that "few anticarcinogens, and certainly no other known fatty acids, are as effective as CLA in inhibiting carcinogenesis in these models." [2][3] Although CLA is best known for its anti-cancer properties, researchers have also found that the cis-9, trans-11 form of CLA can reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease and help fight inflammation. [4][5]
CLA is also known for its body weight management properties, which include reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass. Over 30 clinical studies have been published investigating the effect of CLA on weight management. The trials have quite variable designs, which leads to inconsistency. However a meta-analysis conducted in 2007 clearly shows that CLA does indeed have a small impact on fat mass. [6]

Dietary sources
Of all foods, kangaroo meat may have the highest concentration of CLA.[34] Food products (e.g. mutton and beef) from grass-fed ruminants are good sources of CLA, and contain much more of it than those from grain-fed animals.[35] In fact, meat and dairy products from grass-fed animals can produce 300-500% more CLA than those of cattle fed the usual diet of 50% hay and silage, and 50% grain.[36]
Eggs are also rich in CLA, and it has been shown that CLA in eggs survives the temperatures encountered during frying.[37]
Some mushrooms like Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus blazei, are rare vegetable sources of CLA.[38][39]


As always, just looking for a gold star

By the way....calling the afterbirth 'Spaghetti' is truly D I S G U S T I N G!!


I am not sure whether to laugh or puke!

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

puke... definitely puke....

Ooops, now Dace is in the running.....I think we should give two SWKEA's today. Dace, you win, too!

Thank you, thank you very much. I will be signing autographs in the back after the show.

I am happy to share the award with my esteemed colleague, Miss Sally..... I have no idea what those letters
represent though!

Why do I always come in on these things after the fact... Well, here's my $.02. It helps weight loss too

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, published in the December 2000 issue of the Journal of Nutrition found that CLA reduces fat and preserves muscle tissue. According to the research project manager, an average reduction of six pounds of body fat was found in the group that took CLA, compared to a placebo group. The study found that approximately 3.4 grams of CLA per day is the level needed to obtain the beneficial effects of CLA on body fat.

Dr. Michael Pariza, who conducted research on CLA with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, reported in August 2000 to the American Chemical Society that "It doesn't make a big fat cell get little. What it rather does is keep a little fat cell from getting big." Pariza's research did not find weight loss in his group of 71 overweight people, but what he did find was that when the dieters stopped dieting, and gained back weight, those taking CLA "were more likely to gain muscle and not fat.'' In a separate study conducted at Purdue University in Indiana, CLA was found to improve insulin levels in about two-thirds of diabetic patients, and moderately reduced the blood glucose level and triglyceride levels.

And not to rehash it, but the French used to brew a tea of the placenta for the new mother to help her milk come in strong

Yay for baby goats! I guess it is a contagion and not an addiction, since it seems to be spreading like wildfire. Cool!
