A daily pill for weight loss can help people reduce their body weight by as much as a fifth, according to a trial that could pave the way for millions more people to shed pounds. The drug, called orforglipron, is manufactured by Eli Lilly and targets the same GLP-1 receptors as weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy. In a trial of 3,127 adults, one in five people who took the once-a-day tablet for 72 weeks lost 20% or more of their body weight.

RESEARCHERS in Barcelona may just give Ozempic a run for its money: a new study led by Dr Antonio Zorzano and Dr Manuela Sánchez-Feutrie at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Barcelona, or IRB Barcelona, has identified an essential protein that helps to reduce obesity without the necessity of lowering food intake. Neuritin 1, the protein previously linked to the nervous system and found in the body's brown adipose tissue, is postulated to help boost energy burning without affecting caloric intake.

Ross Hickton criticized the extra 20% charge for wider graves, stating that it's unfair to ask families for more money based on the size of their loved ones.

Most ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are characterized by poor nutritional quality, contributing to excessive calories, and are typically high in saturated fats, added sugars and sodium (salt).

CRISPR screening is extremely effective at finding important factors in obesity and metabolism that could become therapeutic targets, showcasing the potential of microproteins.

"The surprising part of the study wasn't any with any single statistic; it was that there's 170 indicators, eight data sources, all showing the same thing: a generalized decline in kids' health."

Studies have consistently shown that replacing saturated fats, such as lard or beef tallow, with fats from plant oils leads to better health outcomes.

The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day.

"Obesity is a serious, chronic disease, and access to obesity medications should be treated with the same urgency as other chronic conditions," said Rhonda Pacheco, emphasizing the importance of medication access.

"For kids to be able to see Oh, they're serving Domino's, I think it makes a huge difference," Tanya Edwards, the district's director of nutrition, told me.

"Malnutrition can stunt growth and lead to obesity," she said, pointing to a 2022 study by the Turkish Statistical Institute showing that 62.4% of children in Turkey predominantly eat bread and pasta.

"Clinicians treating very obese children in Sweden found that liraglutide injections combined with lifestyle changes resulted in a significant weight loss success rate, avoiding mealtime conflicts."

The suggestion by UKLFI's chief executive that reduced obesity from the war may increase life expectancy in Gaza has been condemned as sickening amid famine warnings.

Like all animals, humans evolved in an environment of food scarcity and unpredictability. For millions of years, survival depended on efficient energy storage during times of abundance.

Among the drugs causing excitement is orforglipron, which comes as a daily pill for glucose control and weight loss. Like semaglutide, it opens new avenues for treatment.
