The love for ultra-processed foods may give rise to depression in young adults.

Researchers found out that a great number of consumers of ultra-processed foods reported suffering from symptoms of depression. This study identified high dietary ingestion of ultra-processed foods as one of the factors that can trigger the onset of depression in young individuals.
