Food neophobia is the fear of eating new or unfamiliar foods. It differs from selective eating disorder.
“新食物恐懼癥”是指害怕吃新的或不熟悉的食物。這與選擇性飲食失調(diào)有所不同。

Food neophobia is particularly common in toddlers and young children. It is often related to an individual's level of sensation-seeking, meaning a person's willingness to try new things and take risks.
“新食物恐懼癥”在嬰幼兒身上尤為常見。這通常與一個(gè)人“尋求感官刺激”的程度有關(guān)。尋求感官刺激是指某人嘗試新食物和冒險(xiǎn)的意愿。

Food neophobia is a new field of study for researchers. They have no idea how many people suffer from it. It hasn't even been officially classified a disorder by the medical field, but it's starting to more serious than previously thought.
對(duì)研究人員而言，“新食物恐懼癥”仍是個(gè)新的領(lǐng)域。他們不清楚有多少人患有此癥。“新食物恐懼癥”甚至未被醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域正式歸為一種疾病，但這種癥狀開始變得比人們想象中的要更為嚴(yán)重。

Those high in food neophobia appear to associate many avoided foods with a sense of disgust.
新食物恐懼癥高發(fā)人群想到要規(guī)避的食物，就不免心生厭惡。
