Besides helping with addictions, it also seems to help with dementia, as well as a bunch of other things.
It's a miracle drug, that should be available cheaply to everyone, but so far it's only for rich people.
I would really hesitate calling it a miracle drug as there are documented side-effects and side-effects yet to be fully understood after long-term use.
Additionally while GLP-1 can reduce caloric intake, it doesn't actually fix the poor dietary choices that got you there in the first place. Like a smoker people will misconstrue having a low BMI with being overall healthy, even though there could be a host of macro and micro-nutritional deficits from fiber to omega-3's to vitamins to antioxidants, and still a relatively high consumption of processed foods with things like added sugar.
So sure it reduces the total amount of poor foods being consumed, but of course does nothing in promoting adoption of nutritionally-positive foods. In one respect, the caloric weigh-loss still is itself a net-positive, hopefully people don't end up masking or cementing their other poor eating habits as a consequence.
Have you taken it?
It absolutely reduces craving for l sorts of "bad food".
Try it before being a doomsayer.
All junk food is ultra processed food, but not all UPF is junk food.
Store bought pre-sliced ham is UPF.
Supermarket white bread is UPF.
Dried apple chips are UPF.
Activia yoghurt is UPF (and evey other form of yoghurt besides plain natural unsweetened one).
Those are all things I typically wouldn't buy, because they are too processed for me. I'd buy an uncooked ham, no bread from an American grocery store, apples, and plain natural unsweetened yogurt.
Your examples are weird.
Then how have you overeaten so much that you need Ozempic?
No I stimulate GLP-1 the good old fashioned way, by eating a balanced diet.
Not doomsaying. Turns out I'm simply echoing what experts have already said:
https://hmri.org.au/news-and-stories/ozempic-helps-weight-loss-making-you-feel-full-certain-foods-can-do-same-thing/
Note, read this article in full as it strikes a good balance of caution between recognizing the potential of drugs like ozempic but also looking at the bigger picture.
So smug...
lol hey, they dish it out; I dish it back. Don't serve what you're unwilling to receive. Your first lesson in the Ethics of Reciprocation.
God damn you sound like a moronic Luddite who thinks Gatorade is what plants crave.
I see you're using personal attacks to substitute a lack of substantive rebuttal; perhaps this is a reflection of your own personal insecurities?
Considering I'm pro-vaccine and actually generally pro-AI (probably unpopular in these parts?) in the same way I would be pro-printing press in terms of the liberation of knowledge and potential of the masses, no, I don't think I'm being an anti-tech Luddite.
What does being pro ai have to do with this conversation?
Se... Seriously?
Explain your first raising of Luddites and then perhaps the answer will hit you.
Though that you didn't mention my raising of vaccines in kind, I'll venture a guess that I just revealed yourself to be a Luddite with respect to AI. Is that right?
Im curious how dumb you are mfer
Well that's just plain rude. I'm curious how much your mother truly tried to instill any semblance of empathy in you; that is, was it a fault of the teacher failing to teach, or the student failing to learn?
Pot calling the kettle black
