Sugar intake from sweet food and beverages, common mental disorder and depression: prospective findings from the Whitehall II study

Abstract Intake of sweet food, beverages and added sugars has been linked with depressive symptoms in several populations. Aim of this study was to investigate systematically cross-sectional and prospective associations between sweet food/beverage intake, common mental disorder (CMD) and depression...
