It’s ironic that we’re simultaneously acknowledging the downsides of plastics and promoting GLP-1 meds It’s the hubris of a materially advanced society — we can’t fathom how engineering our materials and our bodies could be bad for us Though the negatives of GLPs will likely be discovered sooner (spoiler alert: muscle loss)

Question about the muscle loss comment, have you read something recently? I haven't looked into all this so I am not up to date. Educational guess I'd say it's in relationship to losing weight doing nothing as opposed to previously people would actually work out etc...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452302X24002869 “While these findings are promising for CV patients, a side-effect of GLP-1RAs use is the loss of skeletal muscle (lean BW) mass.” “Overall, these data show that semaglutide has an effect on the cardiomyocyte resulting in reduced cardiomyocyte size and cardiac mass in lean and obese mice”

I think there is more research out there if you dig I also have a thesis that’s more in line with TCM, but that might be for another day…

For sure and there is another day and will be insightful I'm sure. I remember the Residents I would work with discussing research that I could not find all the time. Working with doctors so much made me know I didn't want to do that. Plus if they are all my friends I don't need to be a doctor 😆
