Chan School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues examined the correlation between mineral intake and MS risk in a prospective cohort study. Dietary and supplemental mineral intake was assessed by a validated food frequency questionnaire administered every four years to 80,920 nurses in the Nurses&#8217; Health Study and 94,511 in the Nurses&#8217; Health Study II. During follow-up, there were 479 new cases of MS.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers observed no association between minerals and MS risk, either for baseline or cumulative intake during follow-up.
