Science of Speedeaters
, Viasat Explore Nordic
What are physiological differences between an average person who overeats and a competitive eater, a speedeater, who overeats? How does one person?s digestive system allow for 87 bananas ? with peel! ? in one hour or 250 hashed browns in five minutes? We?ll interview doctors and scientists to find out how much of this skill can be attributed to human genetics, behaviour, and just plain sheer will. And also we?ll look at the surprising effects these competitions are having on the future of medical research.
