“…Overall, the dietary patterns of our cohort were similar to the average per capita supply of the Italian population and to the amounts of food group available for consumption corrected for waste in Italy [ 25 ]. This data was confirmed in a previous investigation of dietary intake between PwMS and health control [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Regarding MD adherence, PwMS from the Northwest of Italy showed low intakes of some healthy Mediterranean foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and fish and a moderate consumption of wine.…”

The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is described in the literature as a beneficial dietary pattern for neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the dietary habits in people with MS (pwMS) and to test whether adherence to the MD could have an impact on the severity of the disease measured as the MS severity score (MSSS). Adherence to the MD was assessed in 31 PwMS using the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS), the Pyramid-based Mediterranean Diet Score (PyrMDS) index, and the Italian Mediterranean Index (IMI), and their eating habits were recorded in a food diary for a one-year follow-up. When data obtained from dietary analysis were compared to the MSSS, results showed that pwMS with lower MSSS adhere more to the MD than the other pwMS groups according to the MEDAS index. Furthermore, a high consumption of fiber in the MS mild severity class was observed. Further studies are needed to clarify which of the nutritional components of the MD may impact the course of MS and if the sensitization of pwMS to MD adherence can be a strategy for mitigating the disease.

“…No clear association with Parkinson's disease or Parkinson's like symptoms were observed in these studies. Three other studies examining associations between dietary manganese intake with menstrual cycle symptoms (Penland & Johnson, 1993) and sclerosis (Cortese et al, 2019;Venasse et al, 2021) also did not suggest any adverse associations at higher intakes.…”

“…Further, no evidence for an adverse effect of dietary intake of manganese was found for the following health outcomes: depression (six studies [Rubio‐López et al., 2016; Miyake et al., 2017; Nakamura et al., 2019; Thi Thu Nguyen et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020; Maitiniyazi et al., 2022]), autism (one study [Moludi et al., 2020]), multiple sclerosis (two studies [Cortese et al., 2019; Venasse et al., 2021]), Parkinson's disease (two studies [Miyake et al., 2011], Fukushima et al., 2010), increased signal intensity on T1‐weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) (one study [Ahn et al., 2003]) and adverse symptoms during menstrual phase regarding changes in behaviour (one study [Penland & Johnson, 1993]). Therefore, these 13 studies are not further considered in this opinion.…”

Following a request from the European Commission (EC), the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for manganese. Systematic reviews of the literature of human and animal data were conducted to assess evidence regarding excess manganese intake (including authorised manganese salts) and the priority adverse health effect, i.e. manganese-induced neurotoxicity. Available human and animal studies support neurotoxicity as a critical effect, however, data are not sufficient and suitable to characterise a dose-response relationship and identify a reference point for manganese-induced neurotoxicity. In the absence of adequate data to establish an UL, estimated background dietary intakes (i.e. manganese intakes from natural dietary sources only) observed among high consumers (95th percentile) were used to provide an indication of the highest level of intake where there is reasonable confidence on the absence of adverse effects. A safe level of intake of 8 mg/day was established for adults ≥ 18 years (including pregnant and lactating women) and ranged between 2 and 7 mg/day for other population groups. The application of the safe level of intake is more limited than an UL because the intake level at which the risk of adverse effects starts to increase is not defined.
