	Conjugated Linoleic Acid: A Review Alternative Medicine Review - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The biochemical nomenclature for linoleic acid designates this fatty acid as an 18-carbon ("octa-deca") fatty acid containing two double bonds ("di-en"), specifies the location of the double bonds (the 9 and 12 carbon atoms), and identifies the double bonds as being in a cis-isomeric configuration.
		CLA is formed when reactions shift the location of one or both of the double bonds of linoleic acid in such a manner that the two double bonds are no longer separated by two single bonds.
		Unlike linoleic acid, which is a single unique molecule, several dozen different CLA isomers are possible depending on which double bonds are relocated and the resultant isomeric reconfigurations.
