Twelve percent of all US adults have used a weight-loss drug like Ozempic Around 12%, or one in eight, US adults have now tried a weight-loss drug like Wegovy / Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro, according to a new poll, and about 6% are currently taking one. Over 40% of adults in the US are now obese. The majority of those using the drugs (61%) are using them to treat a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease. Just over 40% are diabetics. A little over a quarter of users have heart disease. In March, Wegovy became the first weight-loss medication to be given FDA approval as a treatment to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Less than a quarter, or 22%, are taking the drugs because they have been diagnosed as being overweight, but 38% say they take the drugs to lose weight. On Ozempic, as much as 40% of the "miraculous" weight loss can actually be lean muscle tissue, setting you up for a vicious rebound when you start eating again, because your body's metabolic rate will be drastically reduced by the loss of muscle tissue. pic.twitter.com/tmwiqviY0cPower up with Nitric Boost that’s now 40% OFF! This potent formula gives you the massive edge in strength and superior circulation for that unparalleled performance you've been looking for!— RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) April 21, 2024 Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic can cost over $1000 a month without insurance coverage, rebates or discount coupons. Over half of those who reported taking the drugs said they found it “difficult” to afford them, with over one in five (22%) saying they found it “very difficult.” Six in ten (61%) of adults said Medicare should cover weight-loss drugs for people who are overweight or obese. This response was shared among all age groups and political orientations. The vast majority of users (79%) said they’d been prescribed the drugs, with 11% saying they’d got them online, 10% from a medical spa or aesthetic center and 2% from somewhere else. Here's something else about Ozempic that probably deserves some consideration: its effects on fertility. Being obese is a major disruptor of fertility, so using Ozempic is making fat women more fertile. But there's a big "but" here. ? https://t.co/QiGZSx5Ifq pic.twitter.com/Q2OXirILhD— RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) April 19, 2024 In recent months, as publicity for and use of these new “miracle” drugs has grown tremendously, more attention has been drawn to their side effects. Psychiatric issues, hormonal problems including reduced testosterone and loss of libido, inhalation of the contents of the stomach, and even permanent lifelong diarrhea have been reported. Tens of thousands of people are now suing the manufacturers of Wegovy/Ozempic (Novo Nordisk) and Mounjaro (Eli Lilly) for the physical damages they claim to have suffered. Huge payouts, in the hundreds of millions or even billions, may be necessary to stem the flood of claims. BOOM! Covid Shot Causes Highest Kill Rate In History – Warns Top Doctor

Two aged protestors attempted to break the glass protecting the Magna Carta Two protestors were arrested in London on Friday after attempting to break the glass around the Magna Carta in the British Library. The women, aged 82 and 85, accused the British government of “breaking the law” as they protested the issuing of new oil and gas licences. Reverend Sue Parfitt and Judy Bruce, a retired science teacher, can be seen taking a hammer and chisel to the glass case protecting the historic document, in video posted on social media. “The Magna Carta is rightly revered, being of great importance to our history, to our freedoms and to our laws,” said Rev Parfitt. “But there will be no freedom, no lawfulness, no rights, if we allow climate breakdown to become the catastrophe that is now threatened.” “We must get things in proportion. The abundance of life on earth, the climate stability that allows civilization to continue is what must be revered and protected above all else, even above our most precious artefacts.”Save 10% on ALL storable food and Alexapure Pro Water Filtration Systems!

It outlined a series of concessions extracted from King John at Runnymede in 1215, including the right to a fair trial and limits of taxation without representation. The US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are both inspired by the Magna Carta. London’s Metropolitan Police said two people had been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage. The British Library said the damage to the case was “minimal.” The document itself was not harmed. The attack is one of a string of high-profile attacks on artworks and important historical artifacts. Climate protestors have already thrown cans of soup over artworks including Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers.” BOOM! Covid Shot Causes Highest Kill Rate In History – Warns Top Doctor

One pet dad is showing the world just how large his cat is by comparing the animal to his four-legged siblings. You’ll be suprised at how this feline measures up to some of the bigs dogs in his household! This huge cat, named Winston, is going viral online because of his owner’s YouTube video. We’re not sure what breed of cat he is, but we do know that he’s a big boy! “He has no idea how big he is either,” wrote the kitty’s dad in his caption. “Winston is literally the sweetest cat!” First, Winston is shown next to an absolutely massive black dog. Although the cat doesn’t look particularly giant in comparison, we need to remember that a regular-sized kitty would look way, way smaller! Screengrab from YouTube Next comes a clip of Winston cuddling in bed with another large dog. This time, it’s clearer that the cat is way closer in size to the giant, fluffy pooch than your average feline! Screengrab from YouTube Winston the giant cat looks huge next to other kitties! Of course, it’s not until we see the kitty next to one of his own kind that we realize just how massive he is. Winston towers over his smaller sibling, a black cat! Screengrab from YouTube Commenters on the YouTube video loved seeing Winston the giant cat next to his other four-legged family members. “I like that the giant cat and the giant dogs together just look like regular sized cats and dogs,” one user said. Another wrote, “I love how small he looked next to the dogs, but compared to the other cat he looked ginormous.” A third added, “No matter how big the kitty, he’s still a baby to the doggies.” Screengrab from YouTube Whether tiny or giant, all cats are the perfect shape for cuddles. Winston’s size means that there’s even more of him to love! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
