alt Hacker NewsGLP-1 probably reduces systemic inflammation, with far-reaching consequences. That is a much bigger effect than just losing weight, though weight loss contributes to that.
Then there are the mental effects, such as people reporting that they lost various addictive habits (gambling, compulsive shopping etc.)
I mean sure sure, I get that, but take this article I found from a simple Google search.

I get that science has to be thorough, but how is it at all worth writing about that losing weight makes your risk of heart attacks lower? That GLP-1s are involved suddenly makes this news?
Again, not trying to be snide. I'm on the side of science here, but there's gotta be something the scientists are looking at that I'm not.
