(STUDY FINDS) – Could something as simple as eating more fiber help slow multiple sclerosis (MS) progression? Researchers at Rutgers University say their research suggests as much, reporting their latest study involving genetically altered mice supports the notion that the right dietary changes can slow down MS.
This work, conducted at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School’s Department of Neurology, builds on prior research that observed a link between microscopic organisms in the digestive tract (better known as the gut microbiome) and MS. Moving forward, researchers are already preparing tests focusing on dietary changes among human MS patients.

“Unhealthy dietary habits such as low fiber and high fat consumption may have contributed to the steep rise of MS in the U.S.,” says senior study author Kouichi Ito, an associate professor of neurology, in a university release. “In nations where people still eat more fiber, MS is far less common.”
