Researchers have found that men who consume a lot of products high in added sugars are more likely to develop conditions like anxiety and depression after five years, compared to men with low sugar intake. A similar link was not seen in women, and the data showed that the opposite relationship is not true – people with mental disorders don’t tend to consume more sugary products. [...]
Women who consume a similarly high amount of sugar also had a greater likelihood to eventually suffer from depression, but the researchers weren’t able to prove that for women this was independent of other factors that could contribute to the development of mental health conditions. [...]
This is not the first study to show a link between sugary products and depression. However, this study is one of the first to show that individuals suffering from anxiety or depression don’t tend to consume more sugary goods than people who don’t have a mental health condition.
