You need to work on your reading comprehension. They clearly state that the claim they're making is based of decades of research, not simply this headline.
The statement they made, which I quoted, IS NOT BASED ON DECADES OF RESEARCH! It is based on their assumptions and the headline in this article.
The study we are talking about makes it very clear in its first paragraph that there has been little-to-no prior research on the effects of processed foods and depression.
It is literally the justification for this specific study having been done at all.
This study only involved middle-aged white women (95% of participants) who didn't suffer from depression at the start of the study. It measured incident depression over the course of 15 years and correlated that with various processed food categories.
That person making the statement that processed foods increase the chance of depression in the general public is doing exactly what I was trying to get people to not do, which is turn this headline into false assumptions and unhelpful advice about general depression.
I hate these reddit moments.
Jesus Christ dude. Read what they said, they are a medical professional, they are not making claims based on an article, but rather years of research.
This has nothing to do with reddit, you're just a moron.
They said this:
The study we are talking about literally says this:
We are talking about a study that in its opening paragraph, with sources, contradicts what they, as a random internet stranger claiming to be a medical professional, are claiming as the truth.
I, for one, am going to side with the study over the person making claims with no evidence. Even a study that I think will cause people like you and the other person to act in foolish, unscientific, and very harmful ways.
Anyway, you should go back to reddit with that attitude. Or downvote and move on. You added nothing of value here and were a jerk for absolutely no reason.
