Much of the article reads like an ad. Like using diabetes in this way really really shows ignorance and like just straight up forgetting that they started off as diabetes drugs that they noticed helped some people lose weight. Wegovy is literally higher dose ozempic.
Like I'm not arguing the drugs can't benefit other conditions but they seem hell bent on shoving obesity into the conversation when it's suggestive that that's not the underlying mechanism, in fact they're observing outcomes that can't be explained by weight loss alone.
Personally I want people to be fat because I’ve had T1 diabetes since I was 6, and now every 3 days I replace my insulin pod and pray that it doesn’t cause an infection that will kill me and idk, I think being fat is okay for most people’s health actually- it’s society that makes it stressful.
I think body differences have always existed and there have always and will always be obese people and plenty of them are metabolically healthy that's just how they are built. I think if you're talking about the broader worldwide (and lab rat) population shift to higher weights IDK
Which seems to coincide somewhat with PFAS etc. becoming more prevalent in the environment--but I'm only qualified to muse on the subject, not pronounce on it!
