Dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from ruminant-derived foods may be potentially beneficial to health. The quantity of cis -9, trans -11 CLA and -10, -12 in a range UK foodstuffs (112 foods) was determined using triple-column silver ion HPLC. content ranged 1·9 mg/g lipid (mild Cheddar) 7·3 (processed cheese) cheeses, 0·9 (ice cream) 3·7 (double non-cheese dairy products, 2·9 (Swedish meatballs) 6·0 (minced lamb) meat products. concentrations for chocolate sweets 0·1 (hot chocolate) 4·8 (buttermint). isomer undetected or negligible the food samples examined. To provide information about dietary intakes UK, study performed estimate daily intake cohort eighteen healthy volunteers (nine female nine male; aged 21–60 years; mean BMI = 24·0 kg/m 2 ( sd 2·2)) with 7-d weighed record. This combined contents used cohort. estimated 97·5 73·3) mg/d. Due its potential health benefits, it is important determine as these data will useful determining role disease.
