Diets high in nitrates were associated with higher risk for experiencing a manic episode, a recent study has shown. Among those with a history of psychiatric disorders, people who reported eating a history of dried meats cured with nitrates had increased odds of currently experiencing mania, a principal feature of bipolar disorder. Eating nitrated cured meats also was significantly associated with increased odds of being hospitalized for acute mania.
However, a diet comprising cured meats was not significantly associated with other psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, bipolar depression, or major depressive disorder.
