He left off some important causes obesity, genetics and Type II diabetes.

Notice that big media nor any of the so called conservative sites have ads condemning obesity like they do smoking even though the cost to individuals, families and society will make smoking look like an after thought.

Instead of having ads chastising obesity they have ads discussing all the new drugs meant for Type II diabetes but with weight loss benefits also. The U.S. government is even considering allowing Ozempic, Wagovy, et al to be prescribed solely for weight loss and paid for by Medicare. No life style changes or dietary changes, just use the current ‘Fen-Phen’ drug of the moment whose side effects from long term use are just now becoming known.

Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, discontinued their well established $700 million a year insulin drug Levemir, due to a corporate decision to put their money on Ozempic’s obesity use. One can bet behind the scenes they are pouring money into lobbying to get the US government to approve use of Ozempic for obesity not just Type II diabetes.

I’m not up on these things; I know about herbs but very little about Rx drugs. My husband was diagnosed as “pre-diabetic (type 2 of course) and he takes herbs (not even every day!) and it’s much reduced. Diet and the right herbs,appropriate excericise and supplements can take care of many conditions.
