Experts from Spain said that some products have a negative effect on mental health. As it turned out, it is about ultra-processed food. This category includes sweet carbonated drinks, chips, energy drinks, breakfast cereals, and fast food.
More than 150 volunteers participated in the study, who tested types of ultra-processed food. Analyzes were regularly taken from all participants. As a result, it turned out that such food is indeed associated with the onset of depression. But these are not all the conclusions that scientists were able to make.
