Mostly True
Eating quickly may lead to overeating as the body doesn't realize fullness, and most foods take at least 20 minutes to digest.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (69/100).
The claim that eating quickly may prevent the body from realizing fullness, leading to overeating, is supported by multiple sources indicating that it takes about 20 minutes for fullness signals to reach the brain. This is corroborated by Northwestern Medicine and Weightology, which highlight the delay in hormonal signals like leptin and peptide YY. The claim about most foods taking at least 20 minutes to digest is less clear. Evidence shows that digestion times vary significantly depending on the type of food, with some foods digesting faster and others much slower. Therefore, the claim is partially true but oversimplified.

Most foods take at least 20 minutes to digest.
The claim is oversimplified. Digestion times vary significantly based on food type. Some foods digest in 20-40 minutes, while others take much longer. The evidence does not support the claim that most foods take at least 20 minutes to digest as a general rule.
