1. antioxidant and anti-cancer properties have been attributed to cla, and studies on mice and rats show encouraging results in hindering the growth of tumors in mammary, skin, and colon tissues.

2. conjugated linoleic acid (cla) supplements may speed weight loss.

3. increases metabolic rate: this would obviously be a positive benefit for thyroid patients, as hypothyroidism -- even when treated -- can reduce the metabolic rate in some people.

4. decreases abdominal fat: adrenal imbalances and hormonal shifts that are common in thyroid patients frequently cause rapid accumulation of abdominal fat, so this benefit could be quite helpful.

5. enhances muscle growth: muscle burns fat, which also contributes to increased metabolism, which is useful in weight loss and management.

6. lowers cholesterol and triglycerides: since many thyroid patients have elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, even with treatment, this benefit can have an impact on a thyroid patient's health.

7. lowers insulin resistance: insulin resistance is a risk for some hypothyroid patients, and lowering it can also help prevent adult-onset diabetes and make it easier to control weight;

8. reduces food-induced allergic reactions: since food allergies can be at play when weight loss becomes difficult,

this can be of help to thyroid patients.
