The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is a large study showing that Eli Lilly's GLP-1 drug, Mounjaro, may help lower heart attack risk by 33% in patients who have both diabetes and heart disease compared with another drug used to treat this condition. [Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)](pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov: Major adverse cardiovascular event definitions used in observational analysis of administrative databases: a systematic review) include heart attack, stroke, and death from any cause.

At the study’s conclusion, researchers found that after one year, participants in the tirzepatide group had a 2.9% MACE risk, compared with 4.4% in the sitagliptin group.

Scientists also estimated that for every 70 study participants who started tirzepatide, one case of MACE could be prevented.

That's a significant difference. And with younger people getting diabetes and heart failure the market is growing.
