06 Jan 2020 --- Diet significantly influences mental health and wellbeing according to a new scientific review from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. Researchers found increasing evidence of a link between a poor diet and the worsening of mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. However, the study cautions that many common beliefs about the health effects of certain foods are not supported by solid evidence. However, the researchers also note that more research is warranted to determine the link between diet and mental health and affirm that this should be the focus of future study.
