The article from Food & Wine explores the potential link between sugar consumption and depression. It discusses a study from the University of Cambridge which suggests that a diet high in sugar can increase the risk of depression. The article explains that while sugar can provide a temporary mood boost due to the release of dopamine, excessive intake might lead to inflammation, insulin resistance, and fluctuations in blood sugar levels, all of which could contribute to depressive symptoms. Furthermore, it highlights the complexity of the relationship, noting that depression might also lead to increased sugar consumption as a form of self-medication. The piece also touches on the broader dietary patterns, like the Western diet, which is typically high in sugar and has been associated with higher rates of mental health issues.
