It's possible, but I think it's largely been attributed to drugs like ozempic. Something like 1 in 8 people have taken it in some form already.

Good point. Can't wait to read about the terrible long term side effects of that stuff in like ten years.

Can't be much worse than long-term side effects of obesity, though.

Yeah, I was reading a news article to this effect the other day.
Hell if I saved it and/or remember where I saw it, but shouldn't be too hard to dredge up a news report to that effect.
