There’re researchers from Aston University, Brimingham, UK, which reveals the above fact. In their study, they asked 60 men and women to watched a movie footage about the bombing of Hiroshima in World War II in five minutes duration. Then they split into two groups.

The first group was given a magazine to remove the 'impression' of the movie. While the second group was given a plate of fries. Participants were also given questions before and after movie screenings, and also after read the magazine and eat French fries.

According to Dr. Mike Gree from Aston University, which published in The Telegraph, participants who feel sad, become more happy after eat French fries. In fact, the group were given French fries can feel calmer after 20 minutes.
