CHICAGO The rapid rise of GLP-1 users is pressuring the food industry, forcing manufacturers to revamp and reformulate their offerings to appeal to this growing consumer base
But in recent years, research has shown something even bigger: Semaglutide can lower the risk of serious heart problems, including heart attacks and strokes even in people without diabetes
