The small intestinal enlongation is interesting. Wonder what the mechanism related to weight loss would be? I know partial small intestine removal is/was used for weight loss so it seems that a “weight loss” drug that adds small intestine is paradoxical. Unless the drug is impairing intestinal function resulting in the organ adapting by adding length/surface area. That must be it. Similar to how statins “work”. Poison the liver so that it can’t make cholesterol and cholesterol numbers go down. What can go wrong? These big pharma clowns are such dickheads. Stay away from any “miracles” they concoct...unless you want to meet your maker prematurely!
As I understand it, from what I've read, this new category of weightloss drugs slows down digestion, keeping food in the digestive tract longer in order to fool the brain into believing it should not send a hunger signal to the body.
However, it always appeared to me that overweight/obese people eat habitually whether "hungry" or not. It would stand to reason that continued habitual overeating along with slowed digestion would foster digestive system disease despite artificially-induced weightloss.

Love your comment, Big Harma clowns are such dickheads, that just struck me as too funny 😄. Yet, my adjectives are not so kind, lol 😝.
