" Cook's team is now focusing on a different CLA — trans-10, cis-12

(t10,c12). It's this fat that the researchers have found is most

responsible for ratcheting down inappropriate inflammation. Although

c9,t11 also showed some weak anti-inflammatory action in the team's

test-tube studies, it failed to curb inflammation in animals. "

" Grass-fed cows tend to produce far more of the c9,t11 form, Cook

notes, than do grain-fed animals. In contrast, grain feeding spurs

more production of t10,c12 CLA. "
