I expect they would as well. However, I was replying to a comment that claimed this drug or something similar could be the solution to obesity and I have serious doubts about that. An improvement in health and longevity, even if it's substantial, is not the same as a solution. For example, if we discovered a drug that delayed severe illness/death from cancer for 5 years, it certainly wouldn't be called a solution to cancer. It would be amazing for sure, but that doesn't solve the cancer problem.
