Article Abstract
144 multiple sclerosis patients took a low-fat diet for 34 years.For each of three categories of neurological disability(minimum,moderate,severe) patients who adhered to the prescribed diet(less than or equal to 20 g fat/day)showed significantly less deterioration and much lower death rates than did those who consumed more fat than prescribed(>20 g fat/day).The greatest benefit was seen in those with minimum disability at the start of the trial;in this group,when those who died from non-MS diseases were excluded from the analysis,95%survived and remained physically active.
