Fussy eating is mainly influenced by genes and is a stable trait from toddlerhood to early adolescence, finds a new study led by Dr Zeynep Nas (also on Bluesky) with Dr Clare Llewellyn Behavioural Science & Health UCL and colleagues King's College London University of Leeds. Funded by MQ ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/sep/…

1. Variation in fussy eating is not so much a matter of parenting but may be largely due to the genetic differences between children 🧬🧒 2. The study also points to the supporting role of the environment in shaping fussy eating, especially in toddlerhood 👶
