- Julia Hartley-Brewer and Professor Carl Heneghan debate the effectiveness and safety of Ozempic, a drug for weight loss and cardiovascular risk reduction. Carl highlighted positive results from a large trial, while Julia raised concerns about funding and potential over prescription.
Professor Carl Heneghan says the country has a huge problem with overweight and obese people, with a recent survey showing six out of 10 people are either overweight or obese in the UK.

I lived in France for 19 years and came back to the UK as a promise to my wife. The first thing I noticed was the utter sh1t quality of uk supermarkets and the food they sell. So, after 3 years away from France i went back last month. I confirmed my thinking.
Uk supermarkets are selling obesity.
Bad food. Junk food. Netflix on the sofa. Unemployment and welfare lifestyles. Welcome to the UK 2024 style, fully endorsed by corporates and advertising, and encouraged and rewarded by government.
and people are buying obesity. Those same supermarkets also sell uncooked, unprocessed, healthy food that people can cook for themselves from scratch, ...if they want to be bothered, that is.
I lived in Italy a few years ago and, like you, was shocked when visiting UK supermarkets when I came here, compared with Italian ones. Rows and rows of ready meals, pre-prepared veg...how many choices of "chips" or "pizzas" do you actually need??? And the breakfast cereal aisle!! Crazy!
@@Vannie1958 I've a lovely life long family friend who lives in Rome. She comes back occasionally to family meetings. She goes back immediately and will not come back to live here, Ike me. I'm here because of a promise to my wife. For better or for worse.
@@stephenrichards5386 I suppose there are pros and cons to both countries!
Would have been nice to hear what Carl had to say.
Fiends and collegues say I am so lucky not to be overweight, NO I am not lucky, it is 100's of thousands of not having a starter, not having a pudding, having a smaller peice of whatever. There is no MAGIC, just self restraint, if this drug can help you with that great, change your attitude to food.
I weigh less now than 60 years ago. I don't eat junk food. I eat meat, real meat, some low carb vegetables, starters and mains, carefully chosen, at restaurants. I don't eat burgers in buns, I make my own with fresh mince etc etc. Lay off the crisps chip and bread
Tell that to someone on low income using a food bank with kids to feed.
I got given a food bank parcel once by my landlord for xmas. I gave it away because it was full of products high in sugar. Im overweight and it isnt from eating crap and Im always on the go. Anyone telling me to my face that Im overweight because I eat to much and dont exercise is narrow minded and fatist and I make no bonrs about telling them so. I dont even like sugar.
There are plenty of fat people who are so because of medical conditions and plenty that are quite fit and active despite their weight.
And its equally as bad for your health to be under weight.
You sound like a dream friend 👎
@@susandurrant6357dream friends tell friends the truth to stop their friends eating themselves into an early grave. Reality exists.
@@catch22again Remember just because the word SUGAR doesn't appear in the ingredients doesn't mean it isn't there. All carbohydrates turn to sugar add to that dextrose, corn syrup and many other derivatives and all the commercial food has sugar. I struggle every week to find food I can eat without causing damage to my pancreas, liver etc
Julia for heavens sake, let the man speak. He is an expert and more interesting than you.
I have hypothyroidism, putting on weight is very easy for me. I now fast 23 hours a day, eat low carb veg with meat, fish, eggs, no sugar, no grains. I walk 3 miles a day and stay generally active. It's still a hard slog, but this formula is getting my weight down, plus blood glucose and blood pressure. It's easier that you think eating once a day.
It's a lot easier to cut out ALL the carbs .......I've been carnivore 12 mths next week and lost 5inches from my waist without counting calories or any hunger pangs........theres many health benifits .......check out "zero carb life" for testimonies
WALL E has come true
I certainly wasn't eating a cake during this.
Yes, and then fill your body with so-called anti depressants if you are unhappy about being obese. Will the meds kill you before your lifestyle?
Highly processed foods would seem to be a big issue. It's also addictive. It's not easy to eat healthily when out in the main. No processed food - I'm working on it lol x
The medical profession is too happy to medicate rather than fix root causes. The trouble with the current crop of obesity is an over availability of ultraprocessed junk food and bad dietary advice with actually promotes the consumption of food that is harmful. Best advice yet if you see health claims on the packet avoid it like the plague.I spent years struggling to keep my weight down but following the standard low fat, eat three meales a day advice - and it was only when I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that I seriously did my own research and found that for me the best way is two meals a day and eat low carb.
I lost 25kgs in 3 months and got my blood sugars down to the normal range.
Delighted for you, and you are so right about ultra processed food. If anyone is interested, Dr Van Tullken did a Royal Insttution lecture on this, very interesteing
Too much grain and carbohydrates in the "food pyramid". The bottom layer needs to disappear.
Doctors are not responsible to convince adults with obesity that it is dangerous . WE all know that .
According to the US Heart and Lung Foundation only 1/300 obese individuals will ever return to a normal BMI. They recommend any departure from a normal BMI with one other morbidity should be actively treated because the consequences to health and the economy from obesity are substantial. For some people, with low metabolic rates, weight loss is almost impossible without nutritional compromise. To date all that’s been available is surgery, which itself can be risky and create its own complications.
Set against this background ozempic is a ‘game-changer’ because never before have we had an effective agent that also has positive cardio metabolic benefits. I think the problem here is the ignorance that regards obesity as a ‘lifestyle choice’ rather than a disease. Just as catastrophic rates of cancer, heart disease and dementia are products of modernity, so too obesity is a disease produced by modern living, it’s not a choice.
By the time a woman becomes obese, half the cells in her body are adipocytes or ‘fat cells’. Every minute we produce a million new cells from our stem cell reserves and an adipocyte has an average life expectancy of 10 years. Obesity should not be underestimated for its clinical consequences, it deserves the respect afforded other diseases and thank God we now have an effective therapy that works reasonably well. Lets end fat shaming and help people back to health.
How is obesity a disease caused by modern living? Not sure what you mean by this.
It was also published direct to journalists. Also, THREE different Abstracts from the SAME paper! This will do more harm than good, as has already been suggested in other papers. Criminal
Did you know that eating real foods (in their original form) and walking around the block every day is also a great weight loss drug that costs almost nothing and replenishes self-esteem while obliterating depression?
People would do anything, pay anything except to eat right and move their fat arses.
Can I sprinkle it on my chips instead of vinegar 😁
I know a lady trying ot lose 5 stone and she said this injection makes her not want to eat at all. I said when you come off it how will you regulate your portions etc. as currently you are simply starving yourself...no answer...she will probably put it all back on...
Not just parents, Julia, but if you look at the food served up these days in schools, compared to when we were at school, that's certainly what I'd consider unhealthy! The official advice to have a third of our plate as carbs (translated into bread/rice/pasta/chips etc) which started when the "low-fat" advice came about in the early 80s seems to coincide with the beginnings of weight increase in the general public. Jamie Oliver tried hard a few years ago to improve the quality of school dinners but it seems to me that's all disappeared now!
Just eat less and or better
Sounds wonderful but unfortunately it isn’t always as simple as that
@@loopylisful Yes it is, Anyone who says differently is just making excuses and/or lying to themselves
@@tillyt4054 I understand what you’re saying but there are exceptions. For example I have a good friend who has always been fit and healthy suddenly started gaining weight and however hard he tried couldn’t shift it. It turned out he had hypothyroidism. So I guess I’m trying to say it isn’t always just down to eating less. It could be something that needs medical intervention
@@loopylisful The anomalies don't discredit the OP. The majority of fat people are fat because they eat more than they burn. Either greedy, lazy or most commonly both.
This drug will help you to achieve that,
Eat less and exercise and you will amazed at the result.
Will power and effort required I'm afraid to make difference.
In a nutshell: Ozempic works because it is an appetite suppressor.
Bring back amphetamines 😎
Surely one does the other?
SUGAR - DIGITAL - FEAR = Lots of overweight people by design , just add PROJECT to all the above .
From the channel that is anti-cycling and is happy to bash cyclists and encourage people to dislike cyclists.
Cycling one of the best ways to lose weight and keep weight off 😞
Fruit and veg aren't as healthy as you think - meat is.
Sugar!
It's not so HUGE as in the States. I still can't believe anyone can weigh 40 stone and still be alive, and plenty of those on My 600 pound life weigh a lot more than 40 stone. Incredible!
I can't see how ordinary overweight and obesity can be a health threat, although no-one wants to be over-weight or obese.
What a nasty piece of work you must be. Considering how messed up your life is. I wouldn’t be making any comments regarding others. Glass houses...
Studies I’ve read say You can never come off of it and people lose large amounts of muscle… we have an obesity problem, but taking drugs is not the answer..health diet, exercise, counselling for those with disordered eating..obesity costs the country billions every year
Weak mate. Just say fat and call them fat.
