I'm terrified for my kids when I hope that there's some sort of correction, but I don't know if the correction is coming or how, you know?
That's right.
Sure, yeah.
So we have this drug that comes on the market for diabetes.
In the diabetes trials, as we start ramping up the doses, people start to lose weight.
And then for any diabetes drug now that comes onto the market, there's a requirement that companies must look into what these drugs do to cardiovascular events.
to look for harms.
Does this increase the risk of a cardiovascular event?
Exactly.
So they're looking for harms and instead they find this 20% risk reduction.
Put that in context for me.
It's big.
Statins are a drug that are targeting these conditions and the risk reduction is something like 29%.
What's really significant about it is it seems that more and more of the benefits that researchers are discovering from these drugs seem to be weight independent.
So in other words,
What everyone expected is you make people lose weight, inflammation in the body goes down, your metabolism of fat and sugar improves.
So maybe you see improvements in fatty liver disease or your diabetes or whatever it is.
But what no one predicted was that you would start to see these weight-independent benefits.
And that goes for the heart, it goes for the liver, I think the kidney.
There's a slew of benefits that seem to be weight-independent.
