#2This is interesting. Diabetes is a well-known risk factor for dementia.

Western disease and sugar heavy diets broadly speaking, which Semaglutide is a countermeasure against. Not yet a vaccine, but in due time (probably via gene therapy). Fructose also helps cancer metastases and spread.

As is being sedentary - there are probably lots of interconnected factors in play, and GLP-1 receptor agonists seem to help with more than one (perhaps even many) of them.
Unpicking the exact chains of causation is likely going to be extremely complex, but the general picture continues to look good.

For sure we still need to find out many related outcomes.
Last year it become known that it increases (high relative risk, low absolute risk) non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), ie sudden, sometimes permanent vision loss.

#8"Semaglutide attenuates a proteomics-based dementia risk signature "
ie : clinically meaningless.
The company behind this, Novo Nordisk is increasingly desperate, as tirzepatide destroys the semaglutide revenue stream and the consequent job losses decimate the company

Just pattern matching as an autistic human. Similar results were seen on a ketogenic diet (and to some extent, intermittent fasting). What do they have in common? Sugar intake reduction. Is it surprising sugar potentially fuels cancer, contributes to dementia, etc? It shouldn’t be. It’s indirect and a casual connection.
There is no health benefit to a high sugar or Western diet, only downside. I think calling it poison is hyperbole, but it’s definitely not healthy, based on all available evidence. I expect to see longitudinal scale results over the next decade as everyone starts taking GLP-1s.
