What is Conjugated linoleic acid? CLA is fatty acid that is produced naturally in the bodies of grass-raised animals and is found in their meat and milk. Grass-raised cattle are likely to have two to three times the amount of CLA as grain-raised animals, and this nutritional value is passed on to you when you eat grass-raised meat. Research shows that a diet rich in CLA can help reduce a person's risk of cancer, arteriosclerosis, and diabetes.
