Seriously, Moose?? I NEVER heard this before! Do you think it's really true?

It's kind of hard to believe, because then wouldn't they be looking at people's old and new cholesterol levels when trying to diagnose MS in unclear cases? Wouldn't they then want all MSers to have their cholesterol checked to make sure it's not too high from demyelination?

(But I admit... I've secretly wondered whether even if I DO have MS--which I prolly don't, but maybe I do, who the h knows--maybe the reason it's stayed so very mild is because I eat a lot of food that's bad for me!! All that fat keeps those nerves remyelinated? )
