The present long - term prospective study is the first to investigate the association of sugar
consumption from sweet
food / beverages with prevalent, incident and recurrent mood disorders, while also examining the effect these disorders might have on

These findings are consistent with those suggested by the results in limited short - term trials:
consumption of starches and refined grains may be less satiating, increasing subsequent hunger signals and total caloric intake, as compared with equivalent numbers of calories obtained from less processed, higher - fiber foods that also contain healthy fats and protein.27 Consumption of processed foods that are higher in starches, refined grains, fats, and sugars can increase weight g
