Abstract

The present literature review analyzed three papers to evaluate the correlation between carbohydrate consumption and depression. Some biological causation of depression from intaking sugar is going to be discussed as well. The experimental objectives of three studies are almost the same---try to find out the relationship between sugar intake and depression. Whereas their results are considerably distinct. This literature review not only finds out the relationship between sugar and depression, but also discusses the drawbacks of each study to figure out what makes the results of the studies different. The main insufficiency of the three studies is the use of questionnaires, out-of-date resources and inaccurate adjust in the study. However, despite the influence of those defects in the papers, the literature review finds out that a higher or lower carbohydrate quality index will increase the risk of getting depressed and the reverse causation of sugar consumption and depression do not exist.
