Abstract in brief

The study investigated the link between eating fast food and baked goods and their potential to increase depression risk in a Spanish cohort of nearly 9,000 people over about 6 years.
Results showed that higher fast food consumption was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing depression, while no clear linear relationship was found for commercial baked goods.
The findings suggest that consuming fast food may have negative effects on mental health, specifically related to depression risk.]

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, and you eat a lot of these foods—it might be worth taking a look at. Or it might be worth adding in some of the ones rich in antioxidant goodness! https://t.co/n5PPgpIbqw
