Fried Food Is Linked To Depression & Anxiety, According To Study

Maybe your comfort food isn’t giving you much comfort!

Western food patterns have been found to be negatively associated with mental health.

 

 

 

According to a population-based study of 140,728 adults, frequent fried food consumption, particularly fried potatoes, is related with a 12% and 7% increased risk of anxiety and depression, respectively.

 

 

The correlations were stronger in male and younger customers.

 

 

 

Long-term exposure to acrylamide, a common food processing pollutant in fried foods, consistently worsens scototaxis and thigmotaxis, exhibiting anxiety- and depressive-like characteristics.
