Aeg41-1002	Dr. Michael Burgess Says Get Rid of FDA Green List: Its a Vulnerability for American Patients
	Quote:	As weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Zepbound (also known as GLP-1s) increased in popularity a surge Burgess notes as a positive, because these drugs are effective and they are approved by the FDA and manufactured under its oversight the country began to see a shortage of them. A recent Gallup analysis found that the portion of American adults currently taking GLP-1s for weight loss rose to 11 percent in 2026, up significantly from 3 percent in 2024. Due to shortages of the medication, some people began seeking out the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in GLP-1s from unapproved manufacturers. To alleviate the problem quickly, the FDA rolled out a "green list" of pre-approved manufacturers in other countries that could import their drugs into the United States without going through traditional customs methods that other foreign drugs go through.... China is the most heavily represented country by far. Earlier this year, one of the Chinese manufacturers on the FDA green list was caught sourcing an unapproved API known as semaglutide from a facility that was not on the list, and putting its own label on it before shipping it to the United States. The manufacturer, called Harbin Jixianglong Biotech, is also accused of altering manufacturing and retesting information before the product was used by patients across the United States.

	Quote:	Scientists have developed a model showing that gut bacteria play a surprisingly important role in how many calories we absorb, meaning food labels may not tell the full story. In a controlled study, people eating a high-fiber diet absorbed about 116 fewer calories per day than those eating a typical Western diet, without feeling hungrier.

	Quote:	Popular GLP-1 medications used for weight loss and type 2 diabetes (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Victoza, and Trulicity) have been linked to an unexpected problem involving fingernails. A multinational study found that people taking these drugs were more than four times as likely to report nail detachment, a condition in which the nail separates from the skin underneath it. Researchers found that 39 of GLP-1 users experienced nail detachment, compared with just 9 of people who had never taken the medications. Nail discoloration was also considerably more common, and two-thirds (66) of users reported at least one nail disorder.
