Metals link to multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis could be linked to difficulty in processing iron and aluminium, a study has suggested.

Scientists at Keele University, Staffordshire, compared levels of the metals in the urine of people with MS and others without the condition.

Significantly higher levels than expected were found in both groups.

Experts said the research was interesting, but MS was a complex disease and more work was needed before a link could be confirmed.
