From anxiety to cancer, the evidence against ultra-processed food piles up

• helph67 3y ago
  Quoted from the article: When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, there is evidence to show that adults who maintain a healthy diet have fewer depressive symptoms. For instance, a French study found adherence to a Mediterranean diet in mid-life is linked to a lower risk of depression, particularly in men.

    How does the causality run, though? I can imagine someone becoming depressed and, as a result, losing interest in good food. Same with exercise etc. Not to say it can't run both ways, of course.

    Or people who aren't depressed find it easier to stick to a healthy diet?
