High fat diet -) inflammation -) depression

Posted by Trotter on December 19, 2012, at 23:44:21

I found this thesis very interesting. It confirmed a lot of my own thinking about how a high fat diet combined with pathogenic intestinal bacteria leads to systemic inflammation. (sorry about the untidy link)

This online book is all about how systemic inflammation causes depression.

Put the two together and what do you get? A high fat diet causes -> inflammation -> depression.

Some other research is also very interesting as it seems bifidobacteria may provide an antidote from the HFD -> inflammation. I hypothesize that the bifidobacteria attach to the bowel wall and prevent translocation of LPS from the pathogenic bacteria. The HFD seems to reduce bifidobacterial numbers, but this can be reversed by consuming oligofructose prebiotic.
