CHICAGO, IL - Losing muscle mass isn’t the only potential side effect of taking weight loss medications such as Ozempic: Brittle bones are another.
According to a study published in the journal JAMA Network, bones can become less dense with rapid weight loss, especially in people older than 65 and predisposed to osteoporosis.
The study followed 195 adults with obesity for one year after an initial eight-week low-calorie diet.
Orthopedic surgeon Rick Lehman at the US Center for Sports Medicine told NewsNation local affiliate KTVI that while these medications are popular for weight loss, they often reduce muscle mass rather than just fat, potentially increasing the percentage of body fat despite a lower overall weight.
This could lead to a paradox where individuals are thinner but have a higher body fat percentage.
Bone loss is a common concern during weight loss, potentially increasing the risk of fractures. The study measured bone mineral density at the hip, spine and forearm — key areas for assessing fracture risk. Click here to read more.
WASHINGTON D.C. - A clip of Vice President Kamala Harris went viral this week that showed remarks she made as San Francisco’s district attorney in which she said that police had the right to “walk into” people’s homes and inspect their legally-owned firearms.
The Democrat presidential nominee made the remarks while speaking to reporters during a press conference in 2007 about a law that was being introduced that she helped write.
Harris said, “We’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs.” Click here to read more.

BROOKS COUNTY, Ga. - Many residents moved to rural Brooks County in southern Georgia for peace, quiet and the red-dirt views of farmland.
But in the last several years, thousands of acres worth of solar farms have taken over peanut and cotton farms, meaning residents now live right next to industry.
Danny Sapp and Peg Howard said they have called Brooks County home for a long time and they said they’re concerned about the changes they’re seeing.
Howard said she wasn’t initially opposed to the solar farms, but after a second project totaling more than 1,700 acres moved in, she’s had enough.
She said solar panels in Brooks County stretch as far as the eye can see. Click here to read more.
The office of Ohio governor Mike DeWine is not disclosing which country is responsible for some of the bomb-threat hoaxes called into Springfield schools. The aim is to “discourage further threats to the schools and other buildings.”
This is more than a little frustrating because the general public already has a short suspect list. The FBI has already publicly discussed the desire of Russia, China, and Iran to influence the 2024 election and how “sowing discord and undermining democracy is consistent across the board.” Earlier this month, an official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told reporters:
