The entire premise of Grain Brain was exactly that. And it is now accepted theory that mental illness has a giant environmental component; even identical twins don't develop depression or schizophrenia at the same rate.
Stress is a huge factor, and over-sugaring our brains, then soaking it in insulin probably qualifies.
I know that the most striking thing about what vegans eat is the enormous amount of grains and sugar. I cannot eat the vegan soup of the day at our local deli. It is like spooning up a bowl of maple syrup.
