Review of Two Popular Eating Plans within the Multiple Sclerosis Community: Low Saturated Fat and Modified Paleolithic (2019)
fft: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/2/352/htm
"Abstract: The precise etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is unknown but epidemiologic evidence suggests this immune-mediated, neurodegenerative condition is the result of a complex interaction between genes and lifetime environmental exposures. Diet choices are modifiable environmental factors that may influence MS disease activity. Two diets promoted for MS, low saturated fat Swank and modified Paleolithic Wahls Elimination (WahlsElim), are currently being investigated for their effect on MS-related fatigue and quality of life (NCT02914964). Dr. Swank theorized restriction of saturated fat would reduce vascular dysfunction in the central nervous system (CNS). Dr. Wahls initially theorized that detailed guidance to increase intake of specific foodstuffs would facilitate increased intake of nutrients key to neuronal health (Wahls™ diet). Dr. Wahls further theorized restriction of lectins would reduce intestinal permeability and CNS inflammation (WahlsElim version). The purpose of this paper is to review the published research of the low saturated fat (Swank) and the modified Paleolithic (Wahls™) diets and the rationale for the structure of the Swank diet and low lectin version of the Wahls™ diet (WahlsElim) being investigated in the clinical trial"

Re: 2019 review: swank, wahls
I believe Dr. Swank's theory about saturated fat is accurate and Dr. Wahls' theory about lectins is accurate as well!
Re: 2019 review: swank, wahls
for example swank sat fat recommendations would bring a person into alignment with public health knowns, thereby correcting for 'bad omnivore behaviour'.
for a person whose nourishment challenges were not associated with excess fat intake, overweight or obesity (whether normal weight metabolic obesity or overweight obesity), one could expect to need a different remedial approach.
