Arrr matey! People are getting scurvy from GLP-1s

In a new systematic review of existing research, led by professor Clare Collins of the Newcastle School of Health Sciences in New South Wales, Australia, it appears that very few global trials of the drugs have taken into consideration what and how much patients are eating while using them.
This, experts have said, means many patients have been functionally malnourished — sometimes developing serious vitamin deficiencies like scurvy.
Part of what makes these drugs so effective for weight loss and diabetes management is their ability to suppress appetite. But not eating, or not eating enough of the right stuff, is simply not a sustainable path forward for anyone, regardless of whether or not they’re using a GLP-1. And dietitians are calling for more oversight.
“A reduction in body weight does not automatically mean the person is well-nourished or healthy,” Collins told the Australian Financial Review. “Nutrition plays a critical role in health and right now it’s largely missing from the evidence.”

Shocking revelation there — people that weren’t healthy before losing a ton of weight…still aren’t healthy after taking drugs to lose weight.

Wow, who knew. The ozempic cranium head looks so healthy.

A Flintstone vitamin could've literally solved this.

There will be a phone book size list of side effects from these things in 5 years

It won’t come close to the health complications from obesity. And the costs for those side effects on the American taxpayer will be a thimble of water in an ocean compared to what we pay for obesity in this country.

Not gonna argue that. However many people taking these are not clinically obese.

A BMI above 30 is obese. 43% of all adult Americans have a BMI over 30. Virtually all usage of GLP-1s are clinically obese

Because not everyone can or should be an athlete.
Regular people don’t have the mental fortitude for it. But they can have scurvy and flabby skin

People are not getting scurvy directly from the drug. This is an indirect effect. People are eating less and not incorporating vit. C in their diet. The drug itself does not contain anything that causes scurvy.
