> Well, not to overly contort this but - I'm taking CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid - Tonalin) for some support in my attempt to lose weight. So...am I countering the effects of the pricey chi-chi fish oil I'm taking (Omegabrite)?
This is a murky subject.....I can't find anything on point. One of the common CLA isomers inhibits three desaturation enzymes, so it's important that you are taking preformed long-chain omega-3s. You might want to add in some GLA for good measure.
It's possible that CLA inhibits bone deposition, but whether that's significant is another question I can't answer. CLA blocks PGE2 formation, so it definitely has anti-inflammatory properties.
There's no clear answer (that I could find). Sorry.
