SAN FRANCISCO-In a series of studies designed to define the role of dietary macronutrients in the initiation of arterial inflammation that predisposes a person to atherosclerosis, University at Buffalo researchers have found that a high intake of glucose, or eating a high-fat, high-calorie fast-food meal causes an increase in the blood's inflammatory components. However, they also have shown that the antioxidant vitamins E and C can nullify this inflammatory response.

Post subject: What you eat and drink may affect your MS Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:35 am |

 If you have multiple sclerosis, will drinking wine make the disease worse? How about smoking? Or eating fish? How do daily choices affect your condition? Researchers from Belgium and the Netherlands wanted to take an in-depth look at some of the most common daily life choices, and learn how they affected the progression of disease in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The results were maybe not what you'd expect: Alcohol, coffee, and fish consumption ...

Hello
I know you really support this diet, and so does my mom but she hasn't had what she needs to do it right now. However she swears by it and made me buy The Yeast Connection. Since I'll be trying this, was thinking you might have some really good tried and true delicious "eats" for Thanksgiving if you have the time. Could use just some simple basics, too complicated or too time consuming. Thanks ...

I always keep reading that refined sugar is bad for MS patients but failed to understand why. Why only "refined" sugar. Recently I noticed that whenever I was taking refined sugar in my diet there was an increase in burning sensation in my legs. Again it was hard for me to believe that sugar could have such an effect. Thought it to be linked to diabetes, but blood tests were always normal. Can someone give ...

As most of us probably do, I have spent recent hours cruising the Internet. With my interest in insulin (specifically, the excess insulin resulting from insulin resistance), you will not be surprised that I found the following article, Sugar – the Great "Food" Deceiver, and think it has much information relative to MS: http://www.stangardnermd.com/2009/02/01 ... -deceiver/Quote: Now, let’s talk about what happens with sugar or refined carbohydrates after they ...

I work out and love dairy foods. I also have protein powders that contain dietary protein in it. Are these bad?
Also I take creatine which I hear is good for MS patients. Any info on that?

i consume food which is free from ...
