Sunshine May Lower Multiple Sclerosis Risk: "Jan. 14, 2004 -- Living in a sunny place may lower a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis.
A new study shows that prolonged exposure to low levels of solar radiation may have a protective effect against the disease.
The exact cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown, but previous research has shown that the immune disorder is more common in areas farther away from the equator -- areas with fewer hours of sunlight. For example, multiple sclerosis is more common in Canada and the northern states of the U.S. than in the southern states."
