    Using the article’s own figures…

    0.000099% to 0.000148%, but down from 0.000173% earlier. So, 0.00062% of obese teens are on this weight loss drug.

    I can see why they chose the “up by 50%” hook.

    Try eating less, nothing premade or prepacked, stop the damn sugar consumption. If it’s got corn byproducts, throw it out.

    Taking drugs while fueling your addiction to trash foods will do nothing but hurt you more in the long run…because you’re still addicted to the garbage they keep pushing on you.

          I do neither, and I’m guessing you don’t? That’s a lot of energy spent being angry about something that affects neither of us. Is this anger healthy? Maybe you ought to start minding your business and talking a walk, breathing exercises, yoga idk. Stress and anger can kill ya too
