  "textContent": "In a new study exploring stigma associated with the use of GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, women who lost weight using GLP-1 medications were judged more harshly than those who lost weight through diet and exercise, with negative reactions driven largely by beliefs that medication-assisted weight loss is a \"shortcut.\" The study also found higher levels of stigma when the women in sample scenarios were portrayed as white rather than Black.",
