    Have you taken it?

    It absolutely reduces craving for l sorts of “bad food”.

    Try it before being a doomsayer.

      All junk food is ultra processed food, but not all UPF is junk food.

      Store bought pre-sliced ham is UPF.

      Supermarket white bread is UPF.

      Dried apple chips are UPF.

      Activia yoghurt is UPF (and evey other form of yoghurt besides plain natural unsweetened one).

        Those are all things I typically wouldn’t buy, because they are too processed for me. I’d buy an uncooked ham, no bread from an American grocery store, apples, and plain natural unsweetened yogurt.

        Your examples are weird.

      No I stimulate GLP-1 the good old fashioned way, by eating a balanced diet.

      Not doomsaying. Turns out I’m simply echoing what experts have already said:

      It’s also important to remember weight is only one part of the health equation. If you suppress your appetite but maintain a diet high in ultra-processed foods low in micronutrients, you could lose weight but not increase your actual nourishment. So support to improve dietary choices is needed, regardless of medication use or weight loss, for true health improvements.

      Note, read this article in full as it strikes a good balance of caution between recognizing the potential of drugs like ozempic but also looking at the bigger picture.

          lol hey, they dish it out; I dish it back. Don’t serve what you’re unwilling to receive. Your first lesson in the Ethics of Reciprocation.

        God damn you sound like a moronic Luddite who thinks Gatorade is what plants crave.

          I see you’re using personal attacks to substitute a lack of substantive rebuttal; perhaps this is a reflection of your own personal insecurities?

          Considering I’m pro-vaccine and actually generally pro-AI (probably unpopular in these parts?) in the same way I would be pro-printing press in terms of the liberation of knowledge and potential of the masses, no, I don’t think I’m being an anti-tech Luddite.

              Se… Seriously?

              Explain your first raising of Luddites and then perhaps the answer will hit you.

              Though that you didn’t mention my raising of vaccines in kind, I’ll venture a guess that I just revealed yourself to be a Luddite with respect to AI. Is that right?

                  Well that’s just plain rude. I’m curious how much your mother truly tried to instill any semblance of empathy in you; that is, was it a fault of the teacher failing to teach, or the student failing to learn?
