Are GLP-1s the Solution to America’s Obesity Epidemic? Fmr FDA Chief Explains | Amanpour and Company

According to medical experts, some 260 million Americans are predicted to be either overweight or obese by 2050. Might drugs like Ozempic offer a way out? Or does a lack of regulation mean the drugs could cause more harm than good? Dr. David Kessler is a former FDA Commissioner who was instrumental in enacting tough tobacco regulations under President Clinton, and later led President Biden's Covid-19 response. Dr. Kessler joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss his new book on the obesity crisis.
