These results aren't enough to prove the GLP-1 RAs in particular were protecting against CRC – even though the different groups were matched up as well as possible – but they definitely suggest that more research and clinical trials are worth pursuing

Weight loss, diabetes protection, and colorectal cancer protection?! This is a great set of miracle drugs - hopefully there will be a way to get it to all the people that need it.

I’m sure money can buy it, but don’t count on your insurance covering it.
