The following work was undertaken because of the increasing body of evidence indicating that a high dietary fat intake is related to certain diseases, among which is multiple sclerosis with which we were particularly concerned. Recent nutritional surveys have suggested that geographic variations in the incidence of multiple sclerosis are due at least in part to the amount of fat consumed. Dr. Swank (Swank, 1950; Swank, Lerstad, Strom and Backer, 1952) made a survey of Holland, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland and compared figures of the dietary habits and the incidence of multiple sclerosis before, during, and after World War II when there were wide fluctuations in the dietary habits.
