https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-05649-7

Intake of sweet food, beverages and added sugars has been linked with depressive symptoms in several populations In prospective analyses, men in the highest tertile of sugar intake from sweet food/beverages had a 23% increased odds of incident CMD after 5 years (95% CI: 1.02, 1.48) independent of health behaviours, socio-demographic and diet-related factors, adiposity and other diseases.
