We also know, on average, if you change the speed in which you eat your food by 20%, you reduce your calorie intake by about 15%. But where it gets really interesting is there's evidence to show if you chew your food 40 times versus 15 times, it can result in... And then there's the menopause.

Most of my work's been done through running clinical trials, so randomised controlled clinical trials where I recruit various people, get them to eat various things, do loads and loads of different measurements and look at how a food or a nutrient or a diet might impact a particular health outcome.
