Last week TeamG was in the news….well to be Precise DrK and the students.
They had come to the conclusion that enviroment rather than genes were particularly important and within a generation, immigrants into the UK with black skin had acquired a high risk of MS such that MS was as common in black females as it was common in white males in East London.
I knew it was covered in “The Times”-Newspaper but I had not seen it. So when I saw the title it seems like the journalist who wrote the piece must have (been a 40watter:-) and) had a epiphany and wrote MS may have something to do with sunlight. Whilst this may have got the juices going in the average readership….I suspect you were all saying, as I was….. “NSS”. Yawn is this a news worthy angle?
Hope they have more insight into Brexit and their view is contempary, otherwise they will be harping on about the British Empire:-)

study of pregnant women in Finland, vit D levels and MS in offspring. Playing with the statistics?
In regards to previous post the web site is:http://methodsman.com. Interesting site about stats and research. If you can stat awake:-)
EBV causes MS. Lack of vitD causes MS. How do you relate the three?
Vitamin d is converted into the active form in immune cells as part of an innate immune response. This possibly alters the ability of EBV to infect B immune cells.
Normal vitD levels at onset, whole life outdoor athlete…. lived my first 25 years in the Caribbean… still got MS, an aggressive one. 2+2 its not 4 on pathologies, and certainly not in MS.
