New functional foods on a body-shaping platform could hit UK supermarkets late next year now that a fat-busting ingredient derived from safflowers has been given an initial safety thumbs up from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Interesting article. I've heard of CLA before and seen it promoted in weight loss powders. It will be interesting to see which health claims are allowed and if the science to back them up holds up. They also mention it occurs naturally in beef and dairy fats which makes you wonder why we're told dairy fats like cheese or butter are so bad, surely the CLA would help break it down or is it only certain kinds of fat or do we need to consume a lot of CLA for it to work. One worry I have is that people will eat more fatty foods because they can have a pill or CLA rich milkshake to make it all ok again - will this really be healthy??

Got 2 agree. If it was a wonder drug that occurs naturally why are there so many problems with obesity now. Simple and best solution is eat healthy and exercise more
