Recently, there has been increased scientific and clinical interest in the potential harms associated with ultra-processed foods, including poor mental health, aggression, antisocial behavior. Research spanning epidemiology, mechanistic pre-clinical work, addiction science, microbiome exposome human intervention trials underscored that nutrition is of relevance along criminal justice continuum. As such, emerging dietetics research salient to thousands international psychologists allied health professionals are engaged forensics, prevention, intervention. In addition, relationships between behavior relate “food crime”, an emergent area unifying researchers psychology, public other interdisciplinary sectors. Food crime scrutinizes vast harms, non-communicable diseases adverse behavioral outcomes, as influenced by distribution addictive food products. Here, we examine research, biophysiological mechanisms, evidence indicating dietary patterns/components intersect psychosocial vulnerabilities linked risks involvement.
