Interessante resultater for Semaglutid, der nu ikke bare har vist en effekt på vægten, men også på risikoen for hjertekarsygdomme. Vigtigt at huske, at det handler om personer med kendt hjertekarsygdomme, ikke raske overvægtige

“It’s one thing to reach out to physicians and say ‘We’ve got these treatments and they’re so effective and we want you to know about them,’ I don’t think that’s ever going to explain over 100 meals. You just have to laugh, it’s so crazy.”

Makeshift Diet Drug Danger

Bekymrende med udenlandske onlinelæger der med få klik kan give en recept, der kræver en ordentlig lægefaglig vurdering. Godt @LMSTdk sætter en stopper for det
