Miracle weight loss shots hyped by Hollywood linked to deadly bowel obstructions

Medical experts are warning that Wegovy and similar fat-loss shots may cause a potentially deadly side effect overlooked in trials.
The blockbuster drugs work by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that slows the movement of food through the intestines – making a person feel full for longer.
But researchers in China believe the drugs may cause a person's small intestine to become enlarged, which puts them at high risk of a potentially deadly obstruction in their digestive system.
In experiments performed on mice, the enlargement of the intestine occurred at around 20 months of taking GLP-1 drugs. The team points out that clinical trials for Wegovy, which has a sticker price of over $1,000 per month, only went up to 16 months, meaning this significant long-term side-effect may have been missed.
The researchers also reviewed previous research on humans that suggest users of these types of drugs are up to four times more likely to suffer intestinal obstruction.
'Because [this class of drugs] could cause continuous increases in the intestinal length and villus height, the small intestine may become as inelastic... leading to long-term upper intestinal obstruction,' the scientists wrote.
Intestinal obstructions occur when a blockage prevents food and liquid from passing through the intestines. This can be caused by damage to the digestive system, cancer, or an inflamed or stretched intestine.

HHTM, I know you like movements within the bowel exiting area.

This is just Big China protecting their interest in making as much money off fat Americans at Chinese restaurants where you’re always left feeling hungry after 30 mins.

I’m amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to avoid dieting and exercise. Amazed.

It would seem like people would want the food out as soon as possible, not slowing the process down. I also don’t trust anything out of China even if it seems like common sense.

They're just trying to scare away normies.

My doc was telling me today about two diabetic injections that might result in weight loss and all the fatties are getting the shots causing a shortage and diabetics are scrounging to find the meds.

No, thanks. I’ve worked hard to get my handicapped tag

The timing of this "study" couldn't be more obvious. The study comes out the same day the announcement is made.
Trying to kill the competition with rumors.

Sorry. Not buying this one until I see it in a medical journal.

I’ll miss you HHTM. I’ll see if I can get Rubio to speak at your wake.

Generally rule is if it’s too good to be true, it almost always is. You have to work to lose weight. It shouldn’t be easy.

Just develop a coke or adderall addiction to lose weight like normal people

Remember when people were eating Lay’s potato chips with Olean added to them and they were shitting themselves spontaneously….
