Saturated, Trans Fat in Food May Increase Risk of Depression, Study Finds - Bloomberg
People who eat more trans fats from cheese, milk or processed foods may have a 48 percent increased risk of depression, compared with those who consume almost no trans fats, a study from Spain showed.
Olive oil, by contrast, appeared to have a slight protective effect against the mental illness among 12,059 Spanish participants in the research, according to a report in the journal PLoS One.
The study is the first to analyze the effects of dietary fat on depression, the authors wrote. Research has already linked trans fats, which are created through a process that adds hydrogen to oil, to increased heart risk.
