This podcast discusses the findings of an observational study presented at the 2025 Congress of ECTRIMS regarding a potential link between ultraprocessed food (UPF) consumption and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) activity. The study followed patients with Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) for five years and found that while UPFs did not trigger MS onset, higher consumption correlated with greater lesion volume, lower neurological function scores, and a statistically significant increase in relapse risk among those who developed MS. The study suggests that UPFs may act as chronic inflammatory accelerants rather than as a cause of the disease, and recommends avoiding them as an early MS management strategy.
