The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea - Meat-Heavy Diet Linked to Depression
A team of researchers at Daedong Hospital in Busan and Seoul National University College of Medicine showed that Koreans who have a heavy meat diet like westerners tend to be more susceptible to depression.
Researchers classified the diets of 9,717 adults into three categories: Western (meat, fried foods, carbonated drinks, instant noodles and ice cream), Korean (vegetables, seafood and fish) and vegetarian (fruits, vegetables and grains). They then analyzed the relationship between diet and depression.
