I don't dispute that and there is a lot validity to that claim
However, I am seeing folks go for a quick and easy fix, especially when it comes to weight loss. But they are ruining their long-term health.

Ozempic facing $2 billion worth of lawsuits
Posted by Reubaltaich on 12/27/25 at 5:00 pm
The new year coming up, so its back to the 'new year's resolution' game.
At the top of the list is to lose weight and get back into shape.
The gyms will be filled with folks, but they will soon be back to normal within a couple of months.
Many are now looking into GLP-1, particularly Ozempic. But hold on there.
There is now lots of lawsuits and even 'settlements' from the maker of Ozempic.

I have a feeling that the whole Ozempic debacle is going to end up horribly bad for many folks.
To folks wanting to lose weight: Go Keto or carnivore.
Get rid of the junk and garbage in your diet.
One doctor said it this way. Quit eating C.R.A.P.
C. Carbs and sugars along with HFC
R. Rancid seed oils.
A. Artificial ingredients
P. Processed proteins and ultra-processed foods
Start with intermittent fasting. Works great. Its not as hard as you think.
Get back into the exercise groove.

quote:
Litigation status: Lawsuits involving Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs have been grouped together in two separate multidistrict litigations (MDL), helping to expedite the legal process. One focuses on gastroparesis, with the other focusing on vision loss.
Number of lawsuits: 2,947 as of December 2025
Injuries Claimed: Severe gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), ileus (impaired bowel function), intestinal obstruction and permanent vision loss from non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
Label status: In January 2025, the Ozempic label was updated to state that it is “not recommended in patients with severe gastroparesis,” but does not indicate that the drug itself may cause the condition. In September 2023, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) added ileus warnings to Ozempic.
Settlements: No global settlements have been announced as of December 2025.

Posted by Reubaltaich on 12/27/25 at 10:09 am to Skenes
No and yes.
I want to see a doc that is experienced and well known in the community.
I don't want some clown who got through med school based on their race and/or sex.
Yes, their grades in Med school is important but I want a doc that has experience.
My doc that I loved and respected retired about 3 years ago.
He had been practicing for years and was very well respected in the community (Ouachita parish).
So I have been looking for a Primary care doctor for the last 2 years.
Most I have come across are 'pill pushers' or only interested in treating the symptom rather than prevention.
A family member told me that I am going to have to be my own advocate when it comes to my health. That stuck with me and I try to adhere to that every day.
Take care of yourself with a good diet, good exercise and annual and even biannual checkups with a good PCP.

With pancreatic cancer its almost impossible to detect until its already spread, which is why its a death sentence cancer. By the time you know you have it, its too late to treat it.
There is a new blood test that shows promise in detecting early PanCan:
New blood test identifies hard-to-detect pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy

A new blood test could help doctors detect pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially improving survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers.
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a test called PAC-MANN, the abbreviation for “protease activity-based assay using a magnetic nanosensor,” which uses a small blood sample to detect changes in protease activity — a key indicator of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, or PDAC, the most common and deadly form of pancreatic cancer.

Health needs to be our priority, with the foods we eat and meds that we shouldn’t be taking. What’s in our food, air, water and medicines that is causing this? Something is off and this should be bipartisan. Let’s figure this out and fast.
Yep. Way too much junk and crap in the SAD(Stanard American Diet).
Go down the list and there is unGodly junk in the food Americans consume every day.

Thats only half of the equation. Yep, we have a bunch of lazy idiots who want an easy solution (like a pill or an injection) to eating garbage food every day.
You don't put sludge into your vehicles fuel tank. You want the good high octane for your engine.
Same with our bodies. Put sludge in it every day, month after month, year after year and then we wonder why there is all kinds of sickness like diabetes, coronary disease, cancers...

I think its at the point of the risk of taking GLP-1 is lower than the risk by not doing anything. If you are a total fat slob and can't curb the diet or get at least light exercise in to see weight loss results, then by all means get on the drug.
Yep. Being morbidly obese is a certain path to pain and suffering and ultimately an early death.
Someone once said you don't see too many fat old folks.
Someone recommended an alternative to these GLP-1 drugs is berberine.
Now that is interesting. It's been around for thousands of years.
I talk to folks everyday about some form of health and most want to stuff their fat faces with crap junk food, sugars and dirty carbs and expect a magic pill to make them better.
One guy on YouTube said it best. Quit eating C.R.A.P.
C: Carbs and sugars along with HFC

IDK. Stopped off today and filled with gas $2.14/gal Lowest I have seen a several years.
Prices of eggs are starting to go down.
A month ago, I bought a pound of Community Coffee for about $10. Looked at it this morning, it was about $6/pound.
Food prices are starting to stabilize and I am seeing prices go down. BTW, I am up in NELA .

re: Brooks Koepka leaving LIV

Looking at the LIV event schedule 2026, it seems like there is a lot of world-wide travel involved.

There comes a time in most people life's where money is not as important as being close to family and home.
The man has generational wealth for his family. So money may not be the issue.
Lots of traveling gets to be a grind on a person and their family life.
Maybe he gets back on the PGA. I am not fan of the LIV format and rarely follow it.

Probably not the 'best' but I love the Rocky Bleier story of the Pittsburg Steelers of the 1970s.
Wounded in the Vietnam War. Was told that he would never be able to play football again. Shot in the left leg and received shrapnel from a grenade in the other leg.
Came back and blocked for Franco Harris and was a 4-time Superbowl Champion.

IDK if that is true or not.
BUT there is growing awareness of the crap junk in our so-called food supply.
Folks are starting to wise up to the harmful effects of the ultra-processed foods.
Seed oils like soy, canola, corn...are being scrutinized and many are starting to avoid them like the plague. The way that stuff is made is absolutely disgusting. Lots of additives, emulsifiers...even deodorants are added because of the rancid smell of them.
Same thing with the tons of sugar and HFC that is added into many foods, sodas, energy drinks, sports drinks.
Throw in many additives such as maltodextrin. One of the worst additives in the food supply.
There is some emerging evidence that extra virgin olive oil has GLP-1 properties.
Not saying that is the case but it is an interesting hypothesis.
