Daily Mail article about reta

I know, I know. Daily Mail is trash so this isn't really news. They are generally very anti GLP1 and commonly refer to peptides as fat jabs. But if you enjoy a bit of sniffy melodrama, read the piece. It's mostly informative as an example of publicity meant to deter people from resellers and grey market vendors.
 
Not too bad.

What amuses me is that they had to contact a professor who read the clinical study articles to understand. Whereas the people on this forum have probably already read these articles.

It will be funny when a Chinese lab will test a slightly modified version of Reta and it will no longer be considered the same molecule.

Thank you! Similar read to many of these articles.

Godzilla juice….. that’s pretty funny. What should we call tirz and sema?

Tirz = King Kong Juice
Sema = Jurassic Park T-Rex Juice
Elora = The “Alien” Juice
 
You can tell the guy is a total idiot and that the editorial staff is a joke in the first couple paragraphs. It says that he is in a moved maintenance dose then complains he is not losing weight. Someone should at least read over the AI garbage before posting it. Total waste of time.

Yeah, it's only a fun read if you enjoy a little bug-eyed hysteria. The author actually consulted a team of criminologists to explain the reta phenomenon lol.

All these options seem like they would be MORE appealing to the gym bros.

I am absolutely loving the idea of adding an image of godzilla to my M2 labels though...

Will work on that tonight for sure.

OMG! I want a godzilla on all my labels now.

Totally unrelated, but I have a co-worker we call Godzilla. I'll have to let her know that she has competition with Reta. It's only her proclivity of destroying cities and breathing fire that we call her that.
 
FTA: "I'm happy to wait until this particular Godzilla of skinny jabs has passed all the necessary checks and can be dispensed legally by a proper pharmacy."

Must be nice to be so wealthy that the system works for you. People like this are so disconnected from reality that mockery is the only answer.

So it will be her picture on your labels 🤣 👍
 
Funny how they try so hard to paint reta as something so harmful. Why do you need "Dr Luke Turnock, a senior lecturer in criminology (of all things) at the University of Lincoln (of all unis) who monitors illegal drug sales" to chime in? Just adds to the fear mongering. No sign of balanced investigative journalism whatsoever. Ah Daily Mail never disappoints.
 
I admit I skimmed the article, but the woman who bought the pen and had constant nausea on the dose made me roll my eyes so hard. If the dose is too much, how about taking a step back and figuring out what works for you? I do not get people who are randomly injecting themselves with and how much they're just handed by someone else.
 
Wikipedia banned the Daily Mail as a source for information back in 2017.

hey've had to pay out hundreds of thousands if not millions in dozens of lawsuits against them, but I guess it's just cost of doing business to them.

They were also very pro-Nazi right up until just before WW2, "Hurrah for the Blackshirts". In 1934, they did a competition, "Why I Like The Blackshirts" where they awarded money for the best letter praising the British Union of Fascists.

In it's defense, you can read Garfield in it.

The truly despicable thing about the Daily Mail is that it doesn't have a Page 3.
 
One of the things I think is a bit sad about news articles sensationalising the issues, is that grey peptides are not entirely safe, and the lack of medical input for advice, managing side effects and checking out related health issues does make problems more likely and most common of all is dosing errors. And despite the fact that the GLP drugs are far better understood and studied it is likely those that are highest risk for serious adverse effects, compared to all the other chinese peptides, just because the effects are strong and a dose that puts you in hospital with intractable vomiting is not that much higher than a therapeutic dose.
There most likely is a quite low but not zero fatality rate from using GLP peptides, I am yet to see a scientific study showing this for grey ones, but it exists for the legit versions, and it is going to be higher for grey ones, mainly from dose errors.
It should not be surprising that newspapers that emphasise the war on drugs approach to illicit drugs are going to promote that type of thinking about it, but a more harm minimisation approach and good quality information is much more likely to save lives than scaremongering.
