Young men would be particularly affected. Scientists highlight the importance of reducing fried food consumption for mental health.
However, other specialists believe that these conclusions need to be qualified. A doctor interviewed by CNN said the study could just as easily indicate that people suffering from anxiety or depression often turn to comfort foods to ease their symptoms. It should be noted that the overall quality of the diet has an influence on physical and mental health.
