Yes I would agree
Do you know more details about " Enzymes and cell receptors are often the targets of the immune system when autoimmunity has been initiated."
It will be interesting to see what happens with future research.
A virus could explain why there is such an epidemic.
Did you know that in Australia your chances of being MS reduces the closer you get, i.e., live, to Antartica? True
Today the news is that NSW State Govenment will ban soft drinks (translates -soda sweet ones eg lemonade Coke, Pepsi etc) in school Tuck Shops (
translates- place at school where children buy food) next year..
I did see this happen in one school where most of the kids skipped brekfast and were "up the wall" by 10am. The schol instigated a" Healty Eating Campaign" in their Tuck Shop.
Parents then sent in 'permission slips' so the kids could walk down to maccas or local shops for a "decent" meal. The usual breakfast was a Mars Bar (maily sugar) and a Coke(mainly sugar).
