Gulf War Syndrome 'does not exist'

There is no such thing as Gulf War Syndrome, an official scientific study has concluded.
The Medical Research Council (MRC) said there was "little evidence" the illnesses of campaign veterans were caused by the multiple vaccinations they received.
The government-funded body also said there was no evidence of a link between veterans' symptoms and the use of depleted uranium shells or nerve agents.
But the study was dismissed by the Gulf Veterans and Families Association, which said: "How can the MRC say that Gulf War Syndrome does not exist when it appears in the Royal College of Medicine encyclopaedia?"
