- Earw0rm 2y agoThat says T2D is bad (indeed, arguably a lot worse than popular understanding), not GLP-1's are candy. Have to wonder if people really understood the consequences, would they still allow themselves to get in that state? Then again, used to be that smoking was something 1-in-3 did, so... Anyway, seems pretty settled that fixing T2D with GLP-1's is a lot less harmful than not, but using them on healthy people is a different story.

I'm sure the dosage is different along with the mechanism of action, even though the substance is the same. Imagine saying that starches have extended more lives than they have cost, without breaking down the analysis any further. Clearly the health impact depends on the quantities and patterns of consumption. This is the kind of muddling that is now happening with GLP-1 drugs.
