Multiple Sclerosis definition and cause; Here's why people with MS shouldn't consume sugar-sweetened drinks
India TV NewsAs per National Multiple Sclerosis Society, "Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body." People with multiple sclerosis consuming 290 calories of soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages a day may be tied to more severe symptoms, researchers warn. The study showed that participants who consumed the largest amounts of sugar-sweetened beverages were five times more likely to have a severe disability than people who seldom drank sugar-sweetened beverages and consume an average of seven calories of such drinks per day. "MS patients often want to know how diet and specific foods can affect the progression of their disease," said Elisa Meier-Gerdingh from St. Josef Hospital in Germany.
