[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long did it take to find out what Fen-Phen was doing to people's heart valves and causing pulmonary hypertension?[/quote]
5-10 years. 5 years for the word to start speading: it was early to mid 90's, so news took longer to spread than it does today. Phen fen was pulled in the late 90's after it was linked to serious and sometimes fatal heart and lung issues. My cousin had 3 heart attacks while on it. She was late 30's at the time.[/quote]

Fen phen became widely available and sought in 1992. It was pulled by 1997. 
We have had 20 years of GLP 1 use and almost 50 in researching it.
People have been on GLP 1s for weight loss since 2018. 
I am unclear why so many people seem to WANT there to be side effects instead of embracing what is essentially a "miracle" drug. Do you also tell people to battle chemical depression and anxiety without medications?  Or to treat genetic hypertension with meditation and willpower alone?[/quote]

People who take hypertension medicine have hypertension. People who take medicines for depression or anxiety have depression or anxiety. GLP1s are medicines for overweight/obsese/and metabolic disorders. This board is filled with normal weight people - so none of the above - who take it. [/quote]

Define normal weight? Because when those taking GLP-1s go from say a size 20 to a size 2, far surpassing those of us at a “normal weight” then yes, I am going to take it and get to a size 2, too. [/quote]

How about this easy one? People who did not have a starting BMI in the overweight or obese range.

As an aside if you are determined to make it to a size 2, then that’s other issue - so much disordered thinking around here. I’d prefer to call it the ED forum than the GLP1 forum, personally.[/quote]

BMI is a deeply, deeply flawed metric.

And why do you care so much? Either use a GLP1 or don’t. [/quote]

BMI is deeply flawed but not for the reasons you seem to be suggesting in this exchange. You are talking about going to a size 2, so you can spare me with your “deeply, deeply flawed metric.”

As for why I care? Is that a real question? I am against making disordered eating and thinking cool again.[/quote]

I would really examine why you care what other people are doing with their own bodies. Other people who are not your family or friends. Seriously. Is it because you know that if the general populous is slimmer you will now be the fat one? [/quote]
