Fast food linked to depression: It is almost certain that if you eat a diet comprised of primarily fast food, you won't be functioning at your optimum capacity -- physically or mentally. Fast food consumption can cause an array of mental effects, ranging from depression to hyperactivity. It is not just one ingredient at fault, either. Fast food meals contain a toxic mixture of unhealthy fats, preservatives, coloring and refined carbohydrates that can create imbalances in your brain.
Fast food often contains trans-fatty acids, which, besides clogging arteries, have been shown to cause depression, according to health experts, who studied the diets of 12,000 people for six years. An imbalance of fatty acids may be another reason why people who eat fast food are more likely to become depressed.
