I am a soon to graduate from a degree in the medical field, and have had several nutrition based classes at the undergraduate level. I am therefore not claiming to be an expert.
I have never in my textbooks seen anything related to eating quickly as being a risk factor for any eating disorder, illness or disease. Nor have in any of my clinical and hospital rotations, ever seen eating quickly as a diagnosis, or a causative agent for any illness of any patient I have encountered suffering from a GI problem, and I would estimate that 50% of all hospital trips outside of trauma are GI related. I think it is just "be polite" bullshit passed down from generation to generation. It is about as relevant to your health, as not putting your elbows on the table.
Of course, if you fucking jam shit down your throat without chewing, you could strain your esophagus, or choke, but I really don't think that is what we are talking about here.
