CONT

Les acides linoléiques conjugués (CLA) sont supposés avoir des effets bénéfiques sur la santé en agissant en tant qu'agent anticarcinogène, en prévenant l'artériosclérose, l'obésité et en influençant la réponse immunitaire.

OBS

[Le terme «cancérogène»] est le favori de l'Académie des Sciences de Paris [...] car la pureté de la langue veut que ce soit un -o qui lie deux éléments d'origine grecque.

OBS

Règle générale, les mots composés qui commencent par le préfixe «anti» s'écrivent sans trait d'union.
