Carbonated drinks and fast food increase the risk of mental disorders

Researchers from the University of Melbourne conducted an investigation that showed participants with the highest consumption of ultra-processed foods increased their chances of experiencing heightened psychological stress. The selection was made among teenagers aged 13 to 17, and the observation was carried out over a period of 15 years. The observation revealed that teenagers who consumed fast food and carbonated drinks almost every day were more vulnerable to psychological stress and subsequent health problems in life compared to those who limit themselves in these habits.
