Ozempic linked to a doubling of sudden vision loss

I know a few people on these shots. Call me a cynic, but it sure seems like Injecting yourself with a magic skinny shot with "no side effects" is too good to be true.

I think our generation will use the "we didn't know it was bad for us" cigarettes excuse for 2 big things. Energy drinks and taurine. People who have slammed 2 monsters a day for their whole adult life will start having total heart failures at like 40 at a high rate and doctors will be stumped until someone notices that they all were habitual energy drink consumers. Artificial sweeteners are in the number 3 spot but I think we all recognize that those aren't good for us.

Artificial sweeteners have nearly zero evidence of being bad for you. Lots of biased studies with anecdotal evidence. Partner that with the reduction in calories, which typically leads to better health results…. Kinda stupid not to use them over actual sugar.

I don't think anyone has claimed these shots don't have any side effects. This is another imaginary straw man.

A well articulated opinion based upon education and research, I'm sure. Sucks we all end up in a pine box, eh?

I get all that, and i dunno, maybe they're ok, but I've lost a lot of faith that stuff that's claimed to be healthy really is. Calorie reduction, sure, that's a good thing, but I am still skeptical of it all.

Personally we're trying to move towards a less processed diet. We have a set of Publix cupcakes in the office as a science experiment right now. They expired at the beginning of the month, and haven't started to mold yet. That worries me, lol.

The fact that these come with an actual "laundry list" of side effects would disprove your point.

People will read them, or not, and must weigh the risk they're willing to take vs the perceived benefit, which is the decision behind many things, such as a can of beer, for instance.

Painting it as a "magic skinny shot" is accepting everything you've read on it, seemingly without much perceived attention or doing much research on the drugs, as that statement doesn't acknowledge or consider the benefits to others for reasons that you never mentioned.

I anxiously await your recipe for avoiding the pine box. When will you be selling your boat, given the risks of ending up in the pine box if you continue to use it?
