Research out this week might help you plan your own version of the Ozempic diet, with the results of a survey revealing the foods that people tend to avoid, or eat less of, once they start taking GLP-1 drugs. Scientists at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station led the study, a survey of past, current, and potentially future GLP-1 users. They found that people were most likely to reduce their consumption of certain food groups, such as soft drinks and beef. Notably, though, people’s desir

The case for Ozempic as a dementia buster is building. Research published this week has found that GLP-1 drugs are associated with a lower risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers in Ireland led the study, a review of the existing evidence. Compared to controls (like other forms of medication or a placebo), people on GLP-1 therapy were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with dementia, the researchers found. Other scientists and pharmaceutical companies have already be

Fueled by global demand and slow production, 2024 was the year of the GLP-1 shortage. Originally used to treat type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 ag

For all the buzz surrounding Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, there are also plenty of concerns about potential serious or long-term side effects. Among the scariest of these fears is that GLP-1 drugs may cause certain types of thyroid cancer. The risk is relevant enough that the Food and Drug Administration has long required GLP-1 drugs to carry warnings advising people with a higher risk, such as those with a family history of certain cancers, to avoid using them. The first G

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, aka GLP-1 agonists, such as semaglutide -- better known as Ozempic -- have recently gained popularity globally, not just for managing type 2 diabetes but also due to their weight loss benefits. This increase in popularity is mainly due to celebrity endorsements and the power of social media. According to a research letter published in August 2024, between January 2021 and December 2023, the number of semaglutide fills increased by 442%. Ozempic accounte

Ozempic and its ilk may do a lot of things, but raising the risk of suicide doesn’t appear to be one of them. Research out this week is the latest to find no evidence of a link between GLP-1 drugs and suicide. Scientists at McGill University in Canada conducted the study, published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal. They tracked the health outcomes of UK residents, and failed to find an association between GLP-1 use and an increased risk of suicidality. The findings follow other major re
