High-fat, high-sugar, high-additive foods have been linked to a risk of poor mental health
Ultra-processed foods that contain high levels of fat, sugar, salt and additives could be bad for your mental health, according to a number of experts. High-profile nutrition scientists met to discuss health in the UK last week and heard there is growing evidence of a link between UPF and poor mental health.
Dr Chris van Tulleken, presenter and disease expert, said: "I am very sure that food affects mental health, and there is a good amount of evidence to link ultra-processed food wi"h poor mental health outcomes. The data can be confusing, but I suspect we will find eventually that the relationship is causal.’
"I felt awful. [Ultra-processed food] dehydrates and constipates you, and that leads to you to not sleeping very well. I had increased depression and anxiety. At the end of the experiment, when I stopped being constipated, sleepless and thirsty in the middle of the night, my frustrations diminished. Most of that just went away."
