D 58.B 59.B DDiet drinks may taste good, but they might not bring happiness. A new study finds that people who drink

31、 diet sodas or fruit drinks are more likely to be diagnosed (诊断) with depression. The study doesnt show that diet drinks cause depression and the researchers stress their findings dont provide an explanation. They looked at more than 263,900 U.S. adults ages 50 to 71 who answered questions about the

32、ir beverage（饮料）consumption（摄入量）between the years 1995 and 1996. About 10 years later (from 2004 to 2006), the same people were asked if a doctor had diagnosed them with depression since the year 2000. People who regularly drank four or more cans of any type of soda a day were 30 percent more likely

33、to have received a diagnosis of depression than people who did not drink soda, said Dr. Honglei Chen of the National Institutes of Health, who led the study. The risk of depression was especially high for people who drank diet soda a 31 percent increased risk compared to a 22 percent increased risk

34、for those who drank regular soda, the researchers said. Those who drank four or more cans of diet fruit drinks were 51 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression compared to those who did not drink diet fruit drinks. By contrast, people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were 10 pe

35、rcent less likely to have been diagnosed with depression compared to non-coffee drinkers. The study only found an association, and did not determine（确定）whether diet soda or fruit drinks caused depression. Although the researcherstook into accountfactors that could affect the results, such as age, se

36、x, education, smoking status, physical activity, body mass index (BMI) and energy intake, its possible other circumstances, such as a family history of depression or stressful life events, could explain the association. A family history of depression and stressful life events are some of the biggest

37、 predictors of depression, said Emma Robertson-Blackmore, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who was not involved in the study. In addition, older people are more likely to experience stressful life events, including the death of a loved one, job changes

38、 or illnesses, Robertson-Blackmore said. However, the findings agree with those of a few previous studies that found a link between frequent consumption of sweetened beverages and a higher prevalence (流行程度) of depression, the researchers said. (Diet sodas and fruit drinks are sweetened, but their sw

39、eeteners contain no calories.)“More research is needed to confirm these findings, and people with depression should continue to take depression medications prescribed by their doctors,”said Chen.56.

44、yet highly treatable disease.Feeling down? Youre not alone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And thats what has scientists confused. If depression causesharm tothe body, why is it sowidespreadin the population?Some scientists think they may h

45、ave the answer. Depression may have an evolutionary(进化) benefit.

49、vation, may have been a mechanismto keep a person alert(机警) to fight offenemiesafter injury.If scientists are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression.
