Multiple sclerosis, MS, has no cure... and over time, MS patients generally see a decline in neurological and other functions as the disease advances. 

There are treatments, to be sure, but recent research suggests that diet can play a big part in maintaining health through MS. 

Vijayshree Yadav, an assistant professor of neurology atOregon Health & Science University, studies diet and lifestyle effects on MS, and finds that diets with whole foods and lower saturated fats can slow the advance of MS.  Dr. Yadav joins us with details of her research.
