Ready, Steady, Learn w/ Clare Reynolds: January 23, 2018

Clare's research in this area involves supplementing healthy fats, in particular conjugated linoleic acid (or CLA), in the diets of obese female rats with an aim to increasing metabolic function and decreasing weight gain in their offspring. As worldwide obesity worsens, could the findings within Clare's research one day help human mothers?
