Thousands Sue Weight Loss Drug Manufacturers With Serious Harm AllegationsBy Anthony Yates Thousands of people have come forward alleging serious harm caused by GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Those products include Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. According to a report by USA Today, at least 4,400 people have filed lawsuits since the first was filed in 2023. Those suits are now part of a consolidated federal and state litigation and target two drugmakers: Novo Nordisk, which manufactures Ozempic, and Eli Lilly, which makes Trulicity, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. The companies reportedly said they refute the allegations and will defend the safety of their products. The USA Today report focuses on three troubling cases in the growing lawsuit. 63-year-old Todd Engel was using Ozempic to manage his diabetes. However, he told the outlet that he lost vision in one eye after using the drug for four months. His medication reportedly never came up as a potential cause of his sight loss, and he lost vision in his other eye months later. 72-year-old JoHelen McClain reportedly used Wegovy in November 2023, aiming to shed a few pounds. In March 2024, she heard a noise like a "balloon popping," which she later discovered was the sound of her colon rupturing. USA Today also interviewed Mark Smith. He told the outlet that his wife, 62-year-old Robin Smith, was taking Mounjaro for weight loss. She reportedly visited the hospital twice for vomiting. Her doctor suggested she stop using the drug, but her problems persisted. Days later, doctors diagnosed her with Wernicke's encephalopathy, which the outlet explains is a neurological condition caused by a lack of thiamine or Vitamin B1. It's often linked to malnutrition. The outlet points out that an estimated 12% of Americans use GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and that the plaintiff's account for a small percentage of users. USA Today also cites a 2024 court filing by the two drug companies. They explain that the known risks are reflected in FDA-approved labeling, which the FDA has reviewed more than 40 times. USA Today details a Gallup Study, which claims that the usage of GLP-1 drugs doubled between 2024 and 2025.Chief of Research and Development at the St. Louis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Ziyad Al-Aly, reportedly stated that no medicine is risk-free. However, he believes the benefits outweigh the risks for most patients. Legal challenges are expected to take several years.

Recipe
Lemon Herb Baked Striped Bass
This is not carnivore unless you cut out the garlic, herbs and lemon.
But it’s fine if your keto or in a maintenance mode like I am and or you can tolerate those ingredients.
And of course this recipe will work with any fish but this was what I used for some of the fish I caught the other day.
Enjoy.
INGREDIENTS: 3-4 pounds striped bass fillet 2 tbsp. melted butter 1 lemon Salt and pepper
TOPPING: ¾ cup Pork Rind Panko crumbs 3 cloves garlic minced 2 tbsp. fresh parsley minced 1 tbsp. dill minced Zest from 1 lemon 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese shredded 3 tbsp. melted butter
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine butter and garlic in small bowl and melt.
Line a pan with foil or parchment paper. If using foil grease it first. Place fillet on pan and brush with the melted butter and garlic. Season with salt (I use truffle salt)and white pepper.
Sprinkle dill and parsley over the fish and squeeze ½ of lemon over top.
Sprinkle crumb mixture over top and then sprinkle the parmigiana on top of that.
Bake uncovered 13 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
When the fish is done you can place it under the broiler just long enough to lightly brown the top of the fish.
