Diet may play a key role in the development of MS.This is suggested by the fact that MS is fairly common in the United States and Europe and almost unheard of in some other countries, such as Japan, Korea and China. The consumption of saturated fats, cholestrol and alcohol, so common in Western Countries, leads to the production of a hormone like substance called prostaglandin 2 (PG2) which promotes the inflammatoryresponse and worsens symptoms of multiple sclerosis. People in Asian countries typically consume much less fat than people in Northern America and Northern Europe do.Their diets are usually rich in marine food, seeds, and fruit oils which are high in essential fatty acids, including the omega-3 essential fatty acids, which have ab inhibitory effect on the in flammatory response.
Can anyone shed any light on these facts, what should I now be eating?
