I fear the same thing but then people that know more about this say that these GLP-1 drugs have been used for many years (by diabetics) so they aren't untested or un-studied. Don't know how accurate that is, though.

> Don't know how accurate that is Literally from the Wikipedia article: “In 2002, Eli Lilly partnered with Amylin to develop exenatide and secure approval to market the drug. Exenatide's 2005 approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration showed that targeting the GLP-1 receptor was a viable strategy and inspired other pharmaceutical companies to focus on that receptor” [1].
