  • Obesity, birth control pills may increase the risk of MS

    Approximately 2.5 million people worldwide are living with multiple sclerosis and 200 people are diagnosed with the disease every day. Now, two new studies suggest that the "obesity hormone" leptin and hormones used in birth control pills may increase the risk of multiple sclerosis.

    The findings will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, in April.
