First of all: I did lead with "if confirmed." And second of all: its not a weight loss drug. It just happens to do that. You seem really hung up on that part.

We are specifically talking about the glp-1 drugs developed for weight loss as per the article you shared.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of GLP-1 medicine despite having been corrected already

Corrected by a technical writer. If a person who studies pharmaceuticals tells me I'm way off base maybe I'll adjust, but I'm going to go off of what a literal medical text said instead. Which is the drug helps with weight loss through appetite suppression and delayed emptying of the stomach.

Thanks for the backhanded insult and the dismissal of my *checks notes* doctorate in technical communications with a specialty in biomedical communications and my *checks notes again* literal years of experience teaching pharmaceutical grad students how to do research writing.

They weren’t developed for weight loss, it’s literally the same diabetic medication that existed for ages just re-branded for weight loss. It’s the same pharmaceutical.

It's the same chemical at a dose that is specifically intended to help people lose weight by making it take longer for their stomach to empty and by suppressing appetite. Those are the side effects of the diabetic medication that help with weight loss.
