What I find so depressing about this article is that it manages to completely misunderstand the reality of what is happening while also offering solutions that will do nothing to change it.
1. China's regulatory authorities are not "lax".
2. FDA already scrutinizes China clinical data with the same level of rigor as data from anywhere else.
3. There is no tech being transferred TO China. Exactly the opposite. WE are licensing THEIR tech.
4. Ex-China manufacturing is ALREADY happening with more and more licensing deals from China. There is no "chokehold" possible if the drug is manufactured here or in Europe.
None of the proposed solutions is going to address this. They address an imaginary reality.
Someone is lobbying for this and I am at a loss as to who it is. Who exactly gains from this? And at what price to American patients?

No kidding?
Without easy access to leaders within a field or top-of-the-line lab equipment, principal investigators outside top universities often struggle to compete for grants from the NIH. trib.al/Mw9gm1o

Now imagine the end results of the politics (and ethics) of “banning” Chinese-invented novel therapeutics in the USA and of then having only the top 1% have access to those by traveling to China while everyone else is denied those drugs. Insanity.
A growing number of foreigners are traveling to China for life-saving treatments, including for cancer, because it's often cheaper and more readily available bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I am not sure I believe this but it is a fun idea. Regardless, losing weight does wonders for depression. That's not exactly complicated. The weight loss MOA doesn't strike me as especially relevant. There was one fascinating study with rimonabant back in the day where they tested it on obese schizophrenia patients and the outcome was very odd: their depression and anxiety IMPROVED but (oddly) they did not lose any weight (their psych meds cause weight gain). Does make you wonder...

I would like to congratulate everyone involved in this important work demonstrating that (checks notes) vitamin C is not in fact life saving for people with horrific, life threatening burns. Perhaps instead of IV they could have offered them fresh oranges?

This has been a banger of a week for obesity papers and we're only on a Wednesday. Not sure how much more of this quality of science I can handle.

This was a silly study to begin with and its proposed guidelines are absurd. I say this as a lifelong teetotaler.

GLP-1 drugs in people with obesity (no diabetes) and the link to reduction of cancer
Among nearly 230,000 individuals, there was >40% overall reduction in 13 cancers associated with obesity with just 2 years of follow-up. Not proof of cause and effect, but consistent with many recent reports on the link between GLP-1 drugs with less cancer

“No proof of cause or effect”… but we’re still going to publish this paper showing a…wait for it… FORTY ONE PERCENT REDUCTION IN CANCER in a two year period??? Did this not strike any of the credentialed adults involved here as somewhat peculiar?

Please stop pathologizing life. I’m not a drinker but the logic presented here can be applied to virtually any enjoyable human activity. Excess is bad. Addiction is VERY bad. But this reducto ad absurdum Puritanism is silly and counterproductive.

GLP-1 are extraordinary drugs that are having a remarkable impact on public health. This is a very good thing. Almost every medical condition we can think of gets better when one loses weight. This too is a good thing. But this study does not show GLP-1 reduced cancer rates and its methodology is deeply flawed. The likeliest explanation for these retrospective data analysis is that women with access to healthcare that covers expensive GLP-1 medications have better healthcare outcomes including in cancer care. If you want to be a bit more daring, you could hypothesize that women who lose weight do better with breast cancer. That's not a crazy hypothesis (although the paper can't prove it). But the idea that GLP-1 have some sort of anti-cancer MOA is not supported by this paper. And yet that is the narrative being created here. There is a plague of such papers out there and editors and reviewers are seemingly perfectly fine with it. That is going to backfire at some stage.
A new study of more than 111,000 women ages 45 to 80 found those on GLP-1 medications had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer by about 30%. abcnews.link/ZTUh9eG

Or... women who have access to healthcare that pays for expensive drugs like GLP-1 tend to have better health outcomes compared to those who do not.
