Cultural norms of attractiveness as promoted by magazines and popular culture [3]
Use of food as way of coping with negative emotions [3]
Rigid, “black or white” thinking (e.g., “being fat is bad” and “being thin is good”) [3]
Over-controlling parents who do not allow expression of emotion [3]
History of sexual abuse [3]

Biological factors:

Genetic predisposition to eating disorders, depression, and anxiety [3]
Certain personality styles, for example obsessive-compulsive personality type [2]
Deficiency or excess of certain brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, especially serotonin [4]

First bite syndrome is a side effect of some surgical treatments for head and neck cancer that is thought to be caused by nerve damage. It can also be caused by a head and neck tumor itself. The syndrome causes pain in the mouth that is triggered by salivation or when taking the first few bites of food during a meal. The pain can be described as intense, sharp, or like a muscle spasm. The pain is usually felt in the parotid (salivary gland) region, which is in the back of the mouth close to the ears, and is usually only felt on one side. The pain lessens with each bite of food but will return if there is a break in eating. First bite syndrome can start anywhere from days, to months, to years after treatment. This side effect can resolve on its own, but there are some treatments that can be helpful for this side effect.
