FDA Approves Zepbound, the Most Potent Weight Loss Drug Yet
Weight loss drugs have dominated the headlines over the past year, and now there’s a new medication that may be the most effective one yet.
On Nov. 11, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tirzepatide (which will be sold under the brand name Zepbound), to treat overweight and obesity. Made by Eli Lilly and Co., the drug is already approved, in different doses, for type 2 diabetes, as Mounjaro, and its effectiveness in those patients is due in part to its weight loss effects.

Should We End Obesity?
It’s unusual for a medication to become a household name; even more uncommon for its branding to become, like Advil, shorthand for an entire class of products; and rarest of all, for it to change not just U.S. medicine, but U.S. culture.
Ozempic has done all three.
Approved in 2017 as a type 2 diabetes medication, Ozempic has largely made its name—and a fortune for its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk—as a weight-loss aid. Novo Nordisk knew early on that diabetes patients often lost weight on the drug, but even company executives couldn’t have guessed how widely it would eventually take off as both ...

This Modern Fad Is Making You Sick
The government declared war on fat almost 50 years ago. And as a result, we got slower, sicker, and fatter.
In fact, the results of this big fat lie “led to some pretty disastrous consequences…that caused Americans to get fatter.”
Those are the words of one of the most famous nutritionists in the world.
Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, was one of the first mainstream physicians to admit that the campaign to eliminate fat in the diet was a big mistake.
But lately, he’s shifted gears. And today, he’s declared war on meat.

Ultrasound features tied to thyroid microcarcinoma tumor growth
Ultrasonic features are tied to an increased risk of tumor progression in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma undergoing active surveillance, a South Korean study published October 31 in Radiology found.
Researchers led by Ji Ye Lee, MD, from Seoul National University Hospital found that ultrasound features of diffuse thyroid disease and intratumoral vascularity, along with other patient characteristics, are significantly associated with this thyroid cancer.
“Prediction incorporating ultrasound features may help personalize surveillance strategies in the future,” Lee and colleagues wrote.
