The research indicates that women reporting high ultra-processed food consumption exhibited a greater BMI and comorbidities, coupled with an increased risk of depression.
Among participants, those who cut back on ultra-processed food intake by at least three servings daily experienced a lower risk of depression over the study period.
While the causal link between depression and ultra-processed food consumption isn't definitive, the researchers suggest that artificial sweeteners might heavily impact mood.
