For their study, researchers at Iowa State University (ISU) analyzed data collected over the span of six years from a cohort of cognitively unimpaired adults who were in their late midlife.

Visceral adipose tissue refers to the deeply hidden "belly fat" that surrounds important ...

Big Pharma wants taxpayers to pay for risky obesity drugs – but Medicare can’t afford it

Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are GLP-1 receptor agonists that can help the body better process sugar and regulate dopamine, and studies have shown they can prevent diabetes while reducing weight.

In a recent episode of "Breaking Points," journalist James Li presented evidence to show that the food industry is conspiring with the pharmaceutical industry, the media, medicine and the government to keep everyone fat, sick and ultimately addicted to pharmaceutical drugs.
