In a report issued last week, researchers from the Karolinska Institutet
(Stockholm, Sweden) revealed that drinking low levels of alcohol has
little to no effect on the risk of developing MS, while drinking higher
levels of alcohol may actually protect against the development of MS.
The possible association of alcohol consumption and risk of MS has been
previously studied as part of two case-control studies and one
prospective study with inconsistent results. Using large
population-based studies, authors of the current report investigated the
possible association of alcohol consumption and MS and related that
association to the effects of smoking—a known risk factor in developing
MS.
