Weight loss drugs could be making your bones brittle Popular GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic may be bad for bone health, says a new study presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ annual meeting. The study found GLP-1 users had a 30% increased risk of osteoporosis and a 12% more risk of gout. Study lead and professor of orthopaedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Dr John Horneff told NBC News that it’s mostly because people reduce their food intake after taking these drugs, which also makes them miss out on key nutrients, apart from the loss of bone mineral density that came with rapid weight loss.
Too much red meat can double your diabetes risk A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition has found that consuming too much red meat, especially the processed kind, increases diabetes risk by 49%, according to Medical News Today. And switching to plant proteins (nuts and legumes) or healthier protein sources (dairy, poultry, fish and eggs) can reduce this risk by 9-14%. Red meat is high on saturated fat that can worsen insulin resistance, it said.
