Participants self-reported how often they ate 144 different types of foods — including ultra-processed foods such as frozen pizzas and chips, as well as fruits and vegetables — and how big their portions were. Over the duration of the study, 246 cases of depression were discovered. Those with depression included 66 men and 180 women .Those that had ultra-processed foods making up at least 31% of their diets daily — the worst of the diets — were up to 82% more likely to be diagnosed with depression over the course of the study, compared to people who ate the least amount of ultra-processed foods daily at less than 16%.
