What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The Hill.
Hank LedgerIt's ten-thirty Eastern, this is Should You Be Worried? Today: could your weight-loss shot be quietly emptying your pantry of vitamins?
Chip DarnellOoh, I like a mystery. Is it the shot or the pantry?
Hank LedgerExperts warn that people on Ozempic and similar drugs may run short on protein and vitamin D, The Hill reports.
Hank LedgerA research review found these users eat sixteen to thirty-nine percent fewer calories than people on a placebo.
Chip DarnellSo the drug works. That's great news for me, a person in America.
Hank LedgerIt works so well they're eating less of everything, including the good stuff. One obesity study found forty-three percent of users got too little protein.
Chip DarnellForty-three percent. Okay, but a Cleveland Clinic study says nearly one in five developed a nutrient deficiency in a year.
Hank LedgerFox News Digital also reported a researcher linking these drugs to scurvy. A dietitian said that's a risk, not a certainty.
Chip DarnellScurvy? Like the pirates?
Hank LedgerThe newest drug on earth, and the worst-case side effect is the Royal Navy in seventeen hundred. Doctors say get a nutrient blood test.
Hank LedgerSo, eat a sandwich, and ask your doctor about the sandwich.
Chip DarnellLove it. Love all of it. I'm not saying I'll get a parrot, Hank. I'm saying I looked up the price.
