Great stuff as always!

I'm curious about this: "patients on Wegovy had a 20% lower incidence of heart attack, stroke or death from heart disease compared to those on a placebo." How long are people ON the drug? I thought it was short term? Do people stay on it after they lose weight? Do they ever get their appetites back? And as for the "set point" idea -- Wegovy changes the "Set point?" I thought it mostly made people nauseated? What a load of rubbish....

This study has been in the works for a while. According to what I read about it, they started this five years ago. I suspect they knew the drug would work for weight loss, so this was an attempt to find some other health benefit, so they could get it on the list for insurance approval.
