In journalist Johann Hari’s new book, “Magic Pill,” he explores the impact of new weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
While these drugs can reduce risks of diabetes, heart disease and other obesity-related conditions, Hari also highlights serious potential risks, such as increased chances of thyroid cancer and birth defects, raising concerns about long-term safety.
Hari’s book urges readers to weigh the benefits and risks carefully, considering the broader implications for society’s relationship with food and health.
