  • GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of weight-loss drugs, show promise in reducing cravings for substances like alcohol and tobacco.
  • These drugs may also lower the risk of cardiovascular events, ease sleep apnea, and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Researchers are still trying to understand the mechanisms behind these benefits, which may involve both weight loss and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Despite the excitement, experts caution against viewing these drugs as a universal cure, especially given unknown long-term effects.
