Get ready for an explosion of pancreatic cancer cases in otherwise healthy people. Obesity is a cause of several comorbidities that make the risk of developing side effects, from GLP-1 agonists, not high enough to justify not taking the drug. Nevertheless, using it as a replacement for healthy lifestyle choices is irresponsible.
At the end of the day, seeing people like Phil Spencer hop on the bandwagon is actually cool because at least we know some of the ultra wealthy are going to start taking the Steve Jobs train pretty soon.
Do you have any reliable sources backing up that increased pancreatic cancer risk assertion?
Recent studies suggest the opposite. Even recent studies that found a small, statistically significant increase cannot rule out survival benefit and other confounders.
