Here you go HN commenters. Last month when I made the observation that "from what I've read recently, I've started to get the impression that the explosion in mental health problems (depression, autism rates etc) has more to do with the western diet than genetics"[0]

Y'all called me MAHA and down voted me into the negatives. Please, insult your own analytical ability by doing the same here. This time I'll just revel in your ideologically confined science denial this time.

A study proposing that diet can affect the expression or severity of some autism-related behaviours is not the same thing as claiming “80% of what people consider autism is actually just the western diet's effect on normal brain chemistry."

Except depression rates are rising at similar or worse levels in other places too, including sunnier/tropical regions and the ones with "better" diets.

The main instigator of depression is still societal as the postmodern era is pushing everyone into seclusion and addicting them to constant individualized dopamine hits, increasing the miserable effect on one's chronic mood and exacerbating one's self-consciousness about it.
