    I assume this is a correlation study? not a causation one?

    It seems plausible the opposite is true, that depressed people are more likely to eat easy sweet foods.

      That’s exactly the first thing that crossed my mind. Whenever I get a depressive episode, the last thing I want to do is cook. So the least effort, quickest meal is the meal I have. And meals like that are generally processed, terrible foods.
