Last Spring, I wrote about Semaglutide and how it compares to an inexpensive, natural, tasty sweetener. The sweetener won by miles in every way including price! Here's a quote:

"Semaglutide is a very expensive drug. According to The New York Times, the dosage used to treat diabetes has an average retail price of about $1,000 a month (so $15,000 for 68 weeks); and using it for weight loss requires significantly larger doses. Sadly, when the pricey drug therapy was discontinued, the study subjects reported that they started to regain the weight. (Allulose costs about $0.50 an ounce; 14 grams would cost $0.25. So the total cost for the 16 weeks of supplementation for the Allulose trial would be about $21.00, assuming you don’t deduct the cost of what it is replacing. And you can follow the protocol and keep eating Allulose as long as you want or need to.)"

Thanks for adding more recent data about the drug. It is an ineffective rip off.
