Healthy Recipes

In The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book, by Roy Laver Swank, MD, PhD and Barbara Brewer Dugan it states - "...post-World War II nutritional studies revealed a marked variation in fat consumption in different parts of the world, suggesting a possible correlation between high fat-intake and a high frequency of multiple sclerosis."
