According to an Australian study performed on young rats, the eating of 'comfort foods',--that is, high-fat foods--can likely reverse the damaging effects of early trauma, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, in humans.
The 11/24/2009 University of New South Wales press release “Comfort eating reverses effects of early trauma” states that--for the first time--it was proven that the eating of “comfort foods” can eliminate the effects of psychological trauma on the brain experienced earlier in life.
The article “Palatable cafeteria diet ameliorates anxiety and depression-like symptoms following an adverse early environment,” appears online beginning on November 24, 2009, in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.
Its authors are PhD student Jayanthi Maniam and Professor Margaret J. Morris, both from the School of Medical Sciences, University of New South Wales, Australia.
