I’m inclined to believe this is an inaccurate study. I’d really like to see it replicated. That said, assuming it’s accurate — that’s kind of an amazing physiological response to perceived time. I wonder if other systems can be impacted or what would cause this particular system to be impacted? I could see people’s metabolism changing based on perception(s). So many questions, but an exciting and interesting area.

Stress causes inflammation of the stomach and an increase in stomach acid production. Seems closely related so doesn't surprise me.

I feel like it's one of these studies where there is deep importance not to read more into the conclusion than what it states. So while expectation of time would be a factor, it wouldn't be the only factor and that alone couldn't break out of the physical constraints of the system. I think hunger is comparable: one can be hungry over time as a result of the natural changes in their body, or they can become hungry merely by looking at appetising food. I think psychology can play a useful, but complicated role.
