Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Depressive Symptoms in a Mediterranean Cohort
Upping ultra-processed food intake levels may make an individual highly likely to suffer from depression.
This study clarified the connection between eating ultra-processed foods regularly and the onset of depression in younger adults. Researchers charted dietary habits against the presence of depressive symptoms among 596 Italian men and women aged 18-35 years.
Researchers found out that frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods elevated an individual's probability of experiencing depressive symptoms. The findings of this study add to the body of evidence that fondness for ultra-processed foods may make young men and women vulnerable to depression.
