The BBC has today reported a suspected link between a lack of sunlight and the condition known as Multiple Sclerosis or MS, which is damage to the insulating myelin sheath around nerves. The research conducted investigated possibly causes of MS being attributed to a lack of sunlight in combination with glandular fever caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

What research is now showing is that there appears to be a link that requires further investigation between sunlight incidences of MS. Head of biomedical research at the MS Society states, "This work adds weight to existing evidence that MS is caused by a number of factors working in combination".

Evidence already suggests that MS is a disease that is seen more frequently the further away from the equator you are, and within the UK itself there are more cases the further north you are, which would seem to attribute itself to sunlight however many other factors would need to be considered.
