text: Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a family of isomers of linoleic acid.  In principle, 28 isomers are possible.  CLA is found mostly in the meat and dairy products derived from ruminants. The two C=C double bonds are conjugated (i.e., separated by a single bond). CLAs can be either cis-fats or trans-fats.
  CLA is marketed as a dietary supplement on the basis of its claimed health benefits.
