The MS Society has responded to yesterday's Daily Express article, which carried a personal account of the benefits of fish oil in the diet of someone with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The report was written on the back of recent research that has suggested oily fish may help to slow the disabling effects of MS.
Matthew Trainer, head of communications for the MS Society said: "The latest study is a small one - only ten people took part - but it adds to the limited body of evidence that suggests fish oils might help slow down the disabling effects of MS.
"Not all health professionals agree, however, that fatty acids benefit people with MS any more than they would anyone else.
"A healthy diet is important to everyone and there is no doubt fatty acids are a valuable part of that. You can usually get the recommended amount from a balanced diet without the need for supplements."
