My latest in @Medscape: Seems that one by one the fear mongered risks about GLP1s get disproven. No increased suicide risk, no thyroid cancer risk, no blindness risk. But the loudest these days is the muscle loss risk. Well guess what? /1

Sarcopenia is real, and important in many elderly. The exaggeration’s and misinformation surrounding i)the magnitude of the problem and ii)benefits of unproven solutions in the context of GLP-1 medicines are also real. Keep calm, carry on, and remain data driven #weightlloss
