YSK that the food you eat influences your mood. People who eat a ton of fruits and vegetables are significantly less likely to suffer from anxiety and depression

Or even " the people who have the time to prepare, money to buy and luxury of access to fruits and vegetables are happier because they have time, money and luxury, whereas people who are poor and/0or work two jobs are depressed and incidentally don't eat many vegetables.

Yet that doesn't stop epidemiologists from running to the media with their bullshit conclusions.

People who eat well are more educated, have more money, can spend more time and money on mental health and are not doing some mind-numbing bullshit job.

Correlation is never causation? I’m not sure how I feel about that phrasing. Any causation will effect a correlation, so it seems the proper way to think about it is “correlation is not necessarily causation.” Unless we’re just talking about denotations here, as in “correlation and causation are different words.” I guess in that sense, ambulance is never dildo.

I once saw an article posted by Harvard's medical school that claimed patients' self-assessment of poor health caused poor health outcomes. Their advice was to simply believe in yourself to improve your health outcomes.

Needless to say, this was based on an observational study. They never even entertained the idea that patients might have some intuition that they're sick prior to getting diagnosed.

I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that if you live on doritos and diet coke, you're going to have a depression and anxiety problem.

Not to mention confounding factors and comorbidity. Add a dash of confirmation bias, bake halfway, and bam! You got some pop science journalism.

I know it's anecdotal, but I'm a historically picky eater that doesn't eat much fruits or veggies (I'm working on that). However, I'm probably also the last anxious and depressed person I know. There are plenty of other factors at play too. Like I can comfortably afford life and don't have anxiety about hidden expenses for things... I bet there is a strong correlation between people who eat a diverse, healthy diet and people who have the means to afford that diet.

Correlation or correlation due to causation. We have taken the “correlation is not causation” thing so far that people now literally believe by default that any correlation indicates that there IS NO causation.

For me, it's both. When I'm in a funk and I stumble into eating healthy for a small stretch I feel slightly better. Same deal when I'm happy but eat like garbage and just feel bloated and anxious, which makes me give up and eat more garbage, which makes me feel even worse.

That said, food's a slight correlation for me, exercise seems to be a bigger factor in my happiness, though again, that too is interrelated, I have more energy and less sluggishness to exercise when I eat right.

Cosplaying being healthy and taking care of my body can lift my mood. Not the only factor, but a sizable one.

Yes because she doesn't want to feel depressed when she's sucking the cum out of your penis hole

What did you eat before? I also experience anger and irritation when I stop eating sugar.

IBS from too much fiber? No, really.

Fruits are mostly fructose which is a fast acting sugar and can make people hyper (also the culprit for all the tequila makes me crazy claims)
