> My point is that people without diabetes are looking to this drug for weight loss, at which point they create a dangerous dependency, with no hard evidence that their actual health improves.

These drugs would have to be pretty bad to counteract the massive health benefits from losing weight (even if they don't have diabetes). I've heard a few eye-openers in the comments, but unless they're more prevalent than I've read, or there's some ticking time bomb, the drugs are probably still a net health benefit.
