Article: Eating Speed Effects Insulin

There is alot more at play here than just eating speed. The diet makeup itself is the most important factor in developing diabetes Type II. It would have been better for them to take these measurements and what not by having the patients eat the same exact proportions and training the same exact amounts. It you eat half a pound of protein meat for a meal but eat it really fast, you are not going to get a quicker or larger insulin response than if you ate a bowl of sugary cereal but took half an hour to eat it.

So data can be inconclusive when you are not considering the type of food digested as well as type and level of training that the individual undergoes every day.

Well put. In addition to that, "fast" food is linked to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, etc. Those in a hurry will turn towards less healthy food choices, ultimately affecting their insulin levels. I agree that the key here is not eating speed, but in fact the food choices one is making. Eating speed is simply a byproduct of that.

Tax payer money and college tuition money is getting wasted on alot of studies like this too.

I can't understand why "scientists" who have been studying science for years on end can't seem to understand the importance of controlling the studying by establishing enough constants. They should have:

1) Established a constant in food type & food proportions
2) Established a constant training regimen
3) Established a constant time window for the feeding

And lastly, instead of comparing all these different people to one another, they could have compared the individuals to themselves, giving them two different feeding opportunities using the exact same constants on the same day of another week to ensure a most accurate study.

Rather, they had a variable in food, variable in portion and a variable between the individuals as each individual may respond entirely different from the next when it comes to insulin sensitivity, even with the same exact foods. Too many variables. You can't conclude crap with that many variables.

There are many bad scientists. I mean look at creationist 'science', and I use that term loosely. It's just a shame about the funding.
 
I eat the same whether I eat fast or slow it makes no difference. Dafuq do they want me to do nibble on a cup of Quinoa for an hour? Why does shyt have to be so damn complicated with everything
