The study found that fussy eating tendencies are largely due to genetics rather than parenting styles, helping to alleviate the blame on parents.
Professor Clare Llewellyn stated that genetic differences are the main reason behind why some children are more finicky eaters while others are adventurous.
Dr. Zeynep Nas emphasized that understanding the genetic basis of food fussiness could reduce anxiety for parents and caregivers concerned about their children's eating habits.
The research shows that while genetics play a key role, offering a variety of foods can still help improve children's eating habits early on.
