CONCLUSIONS: Higher salt intake was not associated with decreased time to relapse in patients with paediatric-onset MS.
It was reported that an increase in salt intake increased autoimmunity in mice and these studies where in the top ten cited papers and was in part supported by a study in MS. MD2 pointed out that the mouse studies used the equivalent of taking 0.6kg salt a day, enough to make you vomit, if rodents could vomit..which they can't. This comment was removed two times by Nature and on the third time it was added it stayed after we complained to them. The mouse stuff was barely repeatable and in this study the paediatric study the salt intake had no influence.
