"Can Diet Alter Brain Function in MS?" - Stephen Krieger, MD; Ilana Katz Sand, MD
Stephen Krieger, MD, neurologist at the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at the Mount Sinai Hospital and Ilana Katz Sand, MD, associate medical director at the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at The Mount Sinai Hospital, discuss multiple sclerosis (MS) at the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis conference in Berlin, Germany. “Ultimately, we’re interested in diet as a disease modifier. I would love to work on how to scale this up and to look at whether the signal we saw in terms of monounsaturated fats is something that’s going to pan out. I would like to look at this longitudinally in an intervention with this type of diet and see what happens in terms of atrophy and these things. For now, I think we’re really pleased with the way the study went,” said Dr. Katz Sand.
