Fair warning, this is long. Summary at the end.
Most of what gets cited for this traces back to one group publishing in the same journal repeatedly. That’s not damning on its own but it’s worth knowing.
Rodent study. Always a rodent study. I’m not saying that makes it worthless, I’m saying I wish people led with it.
The gap between what the study measured and what people claim it showed is genuinely enormous.
The part I keep getting stuck on is that everyone’s confident and nobody agrees, which usually means the evidence is thinner than the discussion.
TL;DR: not sure what to believe about Liraglutide, the sources people cite don’t say what they’re claimed to say, and I’d like to hear from anyone who’s actually looked at this properly.
