A diet heavy in artificial sweeteners is linked to decline in brain health
The sweeteners – aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, and tagatose – are found in ultraprocessed food and drinks like soda, protein bars, yogurt, and low-calorie desserts.
Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame.
People who ingested more than 190 milligrams of the sweeteners, on average each day for a year, showed 62 percent faster declines in thinking and memory skills than those who consumed 20 mg. A can of diet soda contains about 200 mg of sweetener and a packet of Sweet’N Low has 20 mg.The Simpsons Mock Weight Loss Drug OZEMPIC. Should we take medical advice from a cartoon? Yes! Yes! Yes! You Betcha! I've been especially suspicious of the peer pressure marketing of WEGOVY.
I just went to my doctor and at the end of the checkup he recommended that I lose 20 lb... And he suggested exercising and eating less... Pretty standard... The one thing he did not recommend was Ozempic, Wegovy or any of the other GLP-1 drugs...
And then today I see there's a class action lawsuit of patients who had bad side effects and 2,600 of them are suing... With a possible 2 billion dollar settlement... One of the side effects Is Blindness!
Here's a link to the entire Simpsons episode...
S36 E13 The Last Man Expanding - Springfield becomes hooked on a miracle weight loss drug.
But Marge asked the question: "Yes, you may be thinner but... will this drug help you find happiness?"
here's a short CLIP... Just to give you an Idea...
I'm especially freaked out by the Wegovy TV advertisements that show large crowds of people marching down the street together, happy, meeting friends, and having the time of the life... And all of the models are chubby people that look just like me... And look like you too... And right in the middle in the second row is a guy who looks identical to Dr Fauci and he's wearing a stethoscope so you know what his job is and that it's a doctor approved drug!

Here are eight reasons you might want to be cautious before using Wegovy or Ozempic for weight loss:
Wegovy and Ozempic are not for everyone. Ozempic is approved for people with Type 2 diabetes. And Wegovy is approved for people with obesity or those who are overweight and have health problems related to excess weight.
If you lose weight with new drugs, you likely will need to keep taking the medications forever to keep the weight off. People who stop taking Wegovy and Ozempic often gain weight back relatively quickly.
The drugs are expensive, and in general, insurance plans don’t cover them for weight loss (although they often do for people with diabetes).
The popularity of the new drugs has led to some shortages.
The drugs can cause unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.
A small percentage of people who take the drugs can suffer from a diabetes eye complication called retinopathy. Along with consulting with your primary care provider or endocrinologist, you should also see your eye doctor.
The drugs tend to suppress a person’s appetite but to lose weight, you’ll still need to reduce your intake of desserts, sugar-sweetened beverages and fatty foods. And, of course, exercise is important to keep your body healthy.
Some people have complained about looking older due to “Wegovy or Ozempic face.” While many people taking weight loss drugs are pleased to shed some pounds, some say they’re dropping weight in the wrong place: their face. Some have complained of looking old and gaunt due to fat loss in the face.
While there are reasons to be cautious about the newest drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy are helping many people lose considerable weight — about 12% of body mass, on average — which can dramatically improve a person’s health.
