Summary: Food neophobia greatly affects the quality of a child's diet and restricting nutrient intake, making it essential to use appropriate tools to assess FN in children and encourage healthy eating habits. The study identified various instruments to measure FN, with adaptations of the Food Neophobia Scale and the Children's Food Neophobia Scale being the most relevant tools.

Summary: The study found that picky eating children consumed lower amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals in their home-packed lunches, with less intake of meat and alternatives, vegetables and fruit, and fruit in the picky eating group. However, all children's lunches did not meet Canada's Food Guide recommendations, highlighting the need for improvements in overall nutritional quality.

Summary: While higher access to fast-food restaurants (FFRs) was commonly associated with increased fast-food consumption, most studies did not find a significant association between FFR access and weight-related behaviors (such as dietary quality score and frequency of food consumption) in children. However, a systematic review and meta-analysis showed mixed results in terms of the relationship between FFR access and weight-related behaviors/outcomes among children and adolescents.

Summary: Picky eating is characterized by limited intake and avoidance of certain foods, which can have negative health effects. This study aimed to investigate the influence of color on the perception of food in picky eaters. Results showed that perceived saltiness and desirability of the snack were influenced by color in picky eaters, but not in non-picky eaters. Specifically, the snack was rated as saltier and less desirable when served in red or blue bowls. These findings suggest that the perception of food in picky eaters depends on the color of the serving receptacle and offer potential interventions for those with restricted food preferences.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to find clearer evidence on the relationship between food selectivity or food neophobia (FN) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. The results showed that children with ASD are more selective than those with neurotypical development (NTD), but only half of the studies found higher levels of FN in the ASD group. This highlights the need for studies comparing FN between siblings with ASD and those with NTD in the same family nucleus, and atypical oral sensitivity seems to be the sensory characteristic most related to eating disorders.

Summary: This article presents a systematic review and meta-analysis on feeding difficulties and eating behaviors among preterm children. The findings suggest that preterm children are more likely to experience oromotor eating difficulties and challenging eating behaviors compared to term-born peers. Additionally, the article highlights the importance of studying the effects of caregiver-child interactions on subsequent diet in order to prevent obesity and diet-related chronic diseases.

Summary: The study found that the prevalence of eating disorders in patients following bariatric surgery was 7.83%, with binge eating disorder being the most significant factor at 3.81%. However, the investigation highlighted significant methodological limitations in assessing the relationship between bariatric surgery and eating disorders.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) on eating behaviors, cognitions and emotions as a contributor to weight gain and metabolic disturbances. Participants treated with SGAs showed increased hunger, higher cravings for fat and carbohydrates, and small increases in dietary disinhibition and restrained eating compared to controls. Further research is needed to examine other eating-related outcomes and understand the mechanisms associated with appetite and eating-related psychopathology changes.

Summary: Humans can be selective in their food choices, particularly when it comes to food associated with allergies. Research on mice has uncovered the underlying immunological basis for this response, highlighting the role of neuroimmune connections.

Summary: This review examined the relationship between food insecurity and binge eating. The findings suggest that adults who experience food insecurity are more likely to engage in binge eating and binge-eating disorder (BED). The study highlights the importance of considering food insecurity in preventing and treating binge eating.

Summary: This study clarifies the contradictory nature of familiarity in local food consumption and examines the role of loss aversion in the link between familiarity and local food consumption. It finds that tourists with low familiarity of local foods show higher levels of loss aversion, motivating them to consume local food. Food neophobia moderates this relationship.

Summary: The role of dietary diversity in chronic disease or survival remains controversial. This meta-analysis found an inverse association between total dietary diversity and all-cause mortality, as well as a potential benefit in reducing incident CVD. Consuming a variety of healthy foods showed a lower risk of all-cause mortality. More robust research is needed to confirm the associations.

Summary: Individuals with BED and FA show poorer performances in completing cognitive tasks, especially in cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, attention, and planning. There is a lack of studies on the cognitive features of FA, and the current results are mainly described qualitatively.

Summary: The Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR) team has conducted systematic reviews on nutrition and public health topics for over a decade. They have provided recommendations for the research community, including using strong study designs, recruiting diverse study participants, using valid and reliable assessment methods, and reporting all relevant information. Implementation of these recommendations can strengthen nutrition and public health evidence.

Summary: This study examined the associations between caregiver Feeding Responsiveness (FR) and child Picky Eating (PE) behaviors, finding a correlation between caregiver-reported and observed FR as well as between caregiver-reported and observed PE. The quality of caregiver-child interactions and child attachment behavior may moderate the relationship between FR and PE behaviors.
