I support the use of Ozempic for helping diabetics and the obese get back into the overweight range of bmi; Obesity often leads to pre-diabetes which leads to diabetes, which increases demand of insulin -- a much harder/expensive/riskier regimen to administer. It's a better option than a gastro surgery, typically better than extreme dieting.
But, I'm also frustrated at the US food choices; Fast food, even sit down food is often devoid of fiber. Store brand cereals, grains are devoid of fiber unless you pay a premium. Ultra filtering milk doubles protein and halves sugar (by converting lactose to glucose) -- but it costs 8x as much. Why do we even sell "enriched" white bread when whole grain wheat bread has lower sugar, more protein, and more fiber? Margarine - with partially hydrogenated oils - but sold in stores and often at restaurants (waffle house).
- stephenitis 3y agoI have never heard of ultra filtering milk. Do any grocery store chains carry that?
