The report
Changing Diets, Changing Minds: how food affects mental health and behaviour
The report pulls together the published evidence linking what we eat to how we feel – from foetal brain development to adolescent behaviour through to Alzheimer’s disease.

The Food and Mental Health Project looked at the growing evidence linking what we eat to the way we feel and behave
