Too many hot dogs take home top prize but lose peristalsis -- Researchers call for federation to conduct studies on current and former competitive speed eaters
2007
Overview
\"I'm not sure what the reaction will be of the International Federation of Competitive Eating,\" said lead author of a new study Dr. Marc Levine, admitting the difficulty of drawing conclusions from a sample size of one. \"We certainly hope that the IFOCE will see this as an early warning sign and consider monitoring the long-term health of present and past competitors to get a better handle on the risks of this sport.\" Researchers speculated that aging speed eaters could lose their willpower to control eating, leading to chronic binge eating because they never feel sated. Such a scenario could lead to morbid obesity. Additionally, their stomachs could lose the ability to shrink to their original size and become incapable of digesting or emptying solid food. They could then develop intractable nausea and vomiting, necessitating a partial or total gastrectomy to relieve their symptoms and restore their ability to eat. \"My son is a speed eater,\" he said. \"I always scold him not to eat fast. Maybe this will help him have more concern about his habit.\"
