If you really want to investigate an oil that can be used to reduce body fat, then one strong candidate is coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil especially is known to help move body fat out. There are several books to check out on this topic: Eat Fat Lose Fat by Mary Enig PhD and Sally Fallon; Eat Fat Look Thin by Bruce Fife ND; RX Coconut (The Perfect Health Nut) by Dr. Vermen M. Verallo-Rowell, MD; The Truth About Coconut Oil (the Drugstore In A Bottle) by Conrados Dayrit MD. The dominant lauric acid found in coconut is the main reason. I find that the study above is questionable, especially if they are not using the same quality safflower commonly available. That stuff is not happening in my house. CLA naturally occurring in grass fed meats is very useful, but supplements touted as being CLA are rarely useful because they are manufactured, not naturally extracted.

Conjugated linoleic acid = Good

Safflower oil = best avoided!

I remember safflower oil being marketed as an aid to weight loss when I was younger, my cousin took it. It didn't work!

I'm not a scientist, but I question their method - the results of taking the second oil may be wrong seeing as they just finished taking the first oil for 16 weeks.
