GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic aren't miracle cures and come with serious risks that outweigh their modest benefits. These medications cause dangerous complications including pancreatitis, kidney problems, and semi-starvation states where patients eat as few as 600 calories daily. Most people regain 60-70% of lost weight after stopping, making them ineffective long-term solutions to obesity and associated conditions.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 32% chance that any OECD country will achieve a 10% or greater reduction in the national rate of obesity for three consecutive years before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
