Obesity and Metformin Let's just say my job involves drugs; prescription drugs that is. I noticed some new shitlords are trying to break the fatties' delusions that overweight people tend to have longer lifespan than normal weight people do. More specifically, obese people. What these "studies" do not take into consideration is all the metformin fatties pop in to their maws like candy. Metformin is a prescription drug used to treat diabetes orally (or from what I know about it so far). It's also been touted as a weight loss medicine too. Whenever fatties say "I did everything and I still haven't lost weight.", tell them that taking metformin alone doesn't help since it's not a magical pill that will help you lose weight drastically. To be fair, weight loss supplements and medicine do work only if excercise and eating less is added with them. Really, it's science. Science shitlords fat logic.
