THURSDAY, March 1, 2018 (HealthDay News) — People who eat fish regularly seem to have a lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis, researchers report.
How much fish makes a difference? In this study, people who ate fish at least once a week — or who ate fish one to three times a month and took daily fish oil supplements — had a 45 percent lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) compared to folks who ate fish less than once a month and who didn’t take fish oil supplements.
“Our study showed one more potential benefit of a seafood diet,” said study author Dr. Annette Langer-Gould, who noted that eating fish regularly has already been linked to a lower risk for cardiovascular disease. She’s the regional lead for clinical and translation neuroscience for Kaiser Permanente Southern California.
