Every drug has long term side effects but people are being sold GLP1 as a miracle weight lost pill when the focus should be on reducing all the toxic junk food that is causing the weight gain in the first place.

And yes, many research programs are funded by pharma - the conlict of interests is blatant and getting more people sicker every year.

Honestly, I’m pretty sure you’re very aware of all this so I question your motivations to be openly promoting a drug that interferes directly with cellular metabolism like if you’re selling candy.

You're still not providing any sort of claim as to what actual negative side effects you are concerned about, so I don't really know how to have a serious conversation with you.

"Interfering with cellular metabolism" is a meaningless phrase. Please provide some sort of method of action that you are actually concerned about. What is it that it is doing to cells that we should be concerned about? What scientific evidence is there that this action is unhealthy?
