甘い飲み物，特にダイエット飲料とうつ病に関連性が示された。約26万人を対象とした調査で，1995年から96年の間に炭酸飲料，茶，コーヒー，果汁飲料などをどのくらい摂取したか調べ，約10年後に2000年以降にうつ病と診断されたかどうかが調べられた。炭酸飲料摂取量が1日4缶を超えた人は摂取しなかった人と比べて30%，果汁飲料摂取量が1日4缶を超えた人は甘味飲料を飲まなかった人と比べて38%うつ病になりやすく，この危険性はダイエット飲料で高かった。一方，コーヒー摂取量が1日4杯を超える人は飲まない人と比べ10%うつ病になりにくかった。（吉田素子）
Hold the Diet Soda? Sweetened Drinks Linked to Depression, Coffee Tied to Lower Risk
New research suggests that drinking sweetened beverages, especially diet drinks, is associated with an increased risk of depression in adults while drinking coffee was tied to a slightly lower risk. The study was released today and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 65th Annual Meeting in San Diego, March 16 to 23, 2013. "Sweetened beverages, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical--and may have important mental--health consequences," said study author Honglei Chen, MD, PhD, with the National Institutes of Health in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina and a member of the American Academy of Neurology.
The study involved 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71 at enrollment. From 1995 to 1996, consumption of drinks such as soda, tea, fruit punch and coffee was evaluated. About 10 years later, researchers asked the participants whether they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. A total of 11,311 depression diagnoses were made.
People who drank more than four cans or cups per day of soda were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than those who drank no soda. Those who drank four cans of fruit punch per day were about 38 percent more likely to develop depression than those who did not drink sweetened drinks. People who drank four cups of coffee per day were about 10 percent less likely to develop depression than those who drank no coffee.
