and strokes.
And heart disease?
Still one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
The Real Risks
The study did find some side effects…
But they were small.
Very small.
Mild liver changes
A tiny increase in abnormal tests.
Muscle symptoms
Affecting about 1% of people.
Slight rise in blood sugar
Mostly in those already at risk.
Minor fluid retention
With unclear impact.
Nothing like what many feared.
So Why the Confusion?
Some warnings came from reports…
Not controlled trials.
And human expectation plays a role.
If you expect side effects…
you may feel them
even without the drug causing them.
