Milk from grass-fed cattle has 2 to 5 times the CLA (conjugated
linoleic acid) of grain-fed milk. CLA is a substance produced by
fiber-digesting molecules in ruminant animals like cows, goats,
and sheep. It is the only compound originating in animals that
has been show in research trials throughout the world to inhibit
cancer. Research in France has determined that among 360 women,
those with the highest levels of CLA in their breast tissue have
a 74% lower risk of breast cancer than those with the lowest
levels. The human body cannot produce CLA, but you can get it
from eating grass-fed dairy products. In order for typical North
American grain-fed dairy to claim the cancer preventing benefits
of CLA, the content of CLA in milk would have to increase by as
much as four hundred percent. Increased levels of CLA have also
been shown in studies to increase metabolic rate, decrease
abdominal fat, enhance muscle growth, lower cholesterol, enhance
the immune system, and prevent adult onset diabetes.Furthermore,
