“Participants with an increased consumption of trans-fats presented up to a 48 percent increase in the risk of depression when they were compared to participants who did not consume these fats,” the head study author said.“The more trans-fats were consumed,the greater harmful effect they produced in the volunteers.”

　　The research team found,at the same time,that after assessing the effect of polyunsaturated fats made up of larger amounts of fish and vegetable oils and olive oil,these products are associated with a lower risk of suffering depression.

　　The report,published in the online journal PLOS ONE,noted the research was performed on a European population that enjoys a relatively low intake of trans-fats—making up only 0.4 percent of the total energy taken in by the volunteers.“Despite this,we observed an increase in the risk of suffering depression of nearly 50 percent,” said researcher Miguel Martinez.“On this basis we think it of great importance to take this effect into account in countries like the United States,where the percentage of energy derived from these fats is around 2.5 percent.”

　　The report pointed out that the current number of depression sufferers in the world is around 150 million people,and has increased in recent years.This rise is attributable,according to the authors,“to great changes in the sources of fats consumed in Western diets,where we have replaced certain types of beneficial fats in nuts,vegetable oils and fish with the saturated and trans-fats found in meats,butter and other products such as mass-produced cakes and fast food.”
