The Link Between Fried Food and Mental Health

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) found that frequent consumption of fried food is associated with a 12% increased risk of anxiety and a 7% increased risk of depression. The study, which analyzed data from over 140,000 individuals, also revealed that fried potato consumption was particularly linked to a higher risk of anxiety and depression. The researchers conducted an experiment on zebrafish, exposing them to acrylamide, a chemical produced during frying, and found that it led to behaviors indicative of anxiety and depression. While the study sheds light on the connection between diet and mental health, the observed effects were relatively small, and the study design does not establish causation.

Cardiologist's Tips for a Heart-Healthy Diet

Cardiologist Dr. Elizabeth Klodas suggests avoiding saturated fat, fried food, and processed meats like bacon to maintain a healthy heart. She supports patients who try to avoid fat completely, but recommends limiting saturated fats from animal sources like butter and cheese. Deep-fried foods tend to contain lots of saturated fat and salt, which can increase blood pressure. Processed meats contain nitrates, which can turn into nitrosamines linked to an increased risk of cancer, and high levels of salt, which can increase the risk of heart disease. Klodas occasionally indulges in ice cream and french fries but avoids going overboard.

Fried Snacks Linked to Depression, Warn Scientists.

A study conducted in the UK suggests that consuming fried food, such as chips and fried white meat, could increase the risk of anxiety and depression. The study followed over 140,000 people for an average of 11 years and found that those who ate at least one portion of fried food were 12% more likely to have anxiety and 7% more likely to show signs of depression. The study suggests that acrylamide, a chemical substance formed when starchy foods are fried or baked at high temperatures, may be linked to inflammation in the brain. The authors recommend reducing fried food consumption for better mental health.
