Summary: By comparing food intake data from the US and The Netherlands, it was found that risk assessment outcomes for 20% of food groups containing 14 allergenic foods differed considerably depending on the assumed allergen concentration. This suggests that food intake data from the US and The Netherlands cannot be used interchangeably for risk assessment.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in food consumption and nutrition intake in Kazakhstan from 2001 to 2018. The findings showed a significant increase in per capita food consumption during this period, with a decrease in the consumption of crops, vegetables, and milk. Meat consumption was similar in both urban and rural areas, but there were differences in other food consumption between these areas. The changes in food consumption quantity and structure also had an impact on nutrient intake and the proportion of nutrients, with per capita energy intake increasing remarkably in national, urban, and rural areas.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of non-conscious exposure to food odors on specific appetite, food preferences, and food intake. The results show that non-conscious exposure to macronutrient-signaling odors does not impact congruent appetite, food preferences, or food intake of a main meal. Follow-up research should focus on different odor exposure methods and outcome measures to better understand the effects of olfactory priming on eating behavior.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether mindful eating moderates the association between exposure to fast-food around the home and unhealthy food intake. The findings showed that only two domains of mindful eating had significant interaction effects with the relative density of fast-food outlets on saturated fat intake. The results suggest that mindful eating does not buffer against the influence of a food-abundant environment on unhealthy food intake.

Summary: Studying the drivers of animal protein consumption beyond meat consumption is important for mitigating climate change and other environmental issues. This study examines the influence of perceived APC reduction behavior by social contacts on young adults' self-reported APC behavior. The results show that social contacts' perceived APC reduction behavior influences multiple psychological constructs simultaneously, leading to increased intention to reduce APC and decreased self-reported APC.

Summary: Consumption of luxury goods increases the perception of dark personality traits, such as narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, in observers. This social cost is driven by the perception of consumers' impression management, especially in observers with high levels of sincerity. Additionally, observers' consumer brand engagement moderates the effect of luxury consumption on their perception of dark triad of personality.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on eating behavior and food intake in toddlers. The results showed that food fussiness was more common in older children, children conceived with medical assistance, children exposed to distractions during meals, rewarded by parents to finish meals, free to eat at will, and those who ate only occasionally with the whole family. Unsatisfactory dietary diversification was not significantly associated with any variable.

Summary: The UK's aging population requires promotion of balanced nutrition, with a particular focus on increasing dietary fiber intake. Surveys involving older adults showed their willingness to learn about dietary fiber and the need for accessible information. Educational materials proved effective in engaging older adults and were perceived as useful. A holistic approach, involving support from various sources, can aid in improving dietary fiber consumption and overall health outcomes among older adults.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study tests the psychometric properties of the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ) in a sample of 14-year-olds and examines its construct validity using the parent-reported Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ). The results show that a 7-factor solution of the AEBQ without the Hunger scale is a better fitting model, and there are small-to-moderate correlations between the AEBQ and CEBQ scales.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
