German Study Links Soft Drink Consumption to Depression | Firstpost America | N18G

New research from Germany links soft drink consumption to depression, especially in women. A study in JAMA Psychiatry found women who drank more soda had higher levels of Eggerthella, a gut bacterium linked to inflammation and reduced serotonin production. The effect wasn’t seen in men, possibly due to hormonal differences. Experts warn that sugar and artificial sweeteners in soda damage gut microbiomes—killing good bacteria and weakening gut barriers. Top soda-consuming nations include Hungary, Belgium, and Argentina. Researchers suggest swapping soda for water could protect both your gut and your mood. Bottom line: that cola may come with an emotional cost.
