Oleic Acid May Help Fight Multiple Sclerosis by Angela Mohan on January 20, 2021 at 11:37 AM
Lack of a specific fatty acid in fat tissue could trigger the abnormal immune response that attacks and damages the central nervous system, according to a new Yale study.
The finding suggests that dietary change might help treat some people with the autoimmune disease. The study was published in
The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Fat tissue in patients diagnosed with MS lack normal levels of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid found at high levels in, for instance, cooking oils, meats (beef, chicken, and pork), cheese, nuts, sunflower seeds, eggs, pasta, milk, olives, and avocados, according to the study.
No-meat Diet Everywhere Will Not Solve Climate Change by Iswarya on December 17, 2020 at 12:38 PM
People in developed countries like the US or Europe are urged to consume less meat as part of adopting a healthier and low emissions diet. But that is not a universal solution as livestock are critical to diets and incomes in low or middle-income countries, according to a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal
Environmental Research Letters. Conclusions drawn in widely publicized reports argue that the main solution to the climate and human health crisis globally is to eat no or little meat but they are biased towards industrialized, Western systems, said Birthe Paul, the lead author and environmental scientist at the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT).
