Diet, Smoking May Affect MS Progression

This article discusses a study that discusses the effect of diet and smoking on MS progression.  Patients who regularly consumed alcohol, caffeine, and fish were less likely to progress to a disabled stage while smokers progressed to disability at a much more rapid rate than was predicted.  However, it should be noted that this was only the case with remise-relapse MS and not primary progressive MS.  Some critize that diet is simply a coincidence, and the decrease in MS disabilities was due to other similar healthy lifestyle choices.  http://news.health.com/2012/03/30/diet-smoking-may-affect-ms-progression/
