The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
the position of the double bond is what determines everything because of lytic acid in the cineq acid romantic acid these are all 18 carbon molecules and they just have double bonds at different places for menak acid conjugated linoleic acid has two double bonds these other ones have one double bond the space of the double bond totally changes the way this molecule affects our bodies and in fact hormonal signaling in so many ways
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

i get a lot of questions also about conjugated linoleic acid very different looking molecule this is linoleic acid when the molecule is depicted like this and it's straight these um these hydrogens are actually on the same side of the molecule if you look at the name here of linoleic acid it's actually a cis 912 octadecanoic acid what does all that mean paul it's crazy you're confusing us it means that when you're looking at trans versus cis the hydrogens are on the same side of the opposing carbons and that is why they are considered to be cis trans is when they are on opposite sides of the carbon and when you have a trans molecule you have a bend in the molecule so i will show you in contrast to linoleic acid this is what conjugated linoleic acid looks like again it's an 18 carbon omega-6 but these it has a bend in the molecule because the carbons here excuse me the hydrogens here are actually cis on a couple of these carbons now have we been told trans fats are bad for us yes is cla bad for us no it's a naturally occurring form of a trans fat there are bad fats that are trans and relatively good fats that are trans this is a cis-9 trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid which is ruminic acid it is different from the canonical example of 18 carbon omega-6 linoleic acid okay which is a cystis 912 conjugated linoleic acid this one at least the brominic acid is a cis9 trans 11 and they have different sort of signaling molecules in the human body at some level
