The mayor of Waukesha, the seat of a reliably Republican county outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Wednesday — the first time the formerly Republican city leader is supporting a Democrat for commander in chief, the campaign said. Wisconsin is a key battleground state that could be a critical piece of Harris or Trump's path to victory on election night. In 2000, just 32% of voters in Waukesha County voted for Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore, while in 2020 39% of voters there supported President Joe Biden. On Thursday, GOP former Michigan Rep. Fred Upton also endorsed Harris, saying in a statement that he has never voted for a Democrat for president "until now." Other former GOP members of Congress that have endorsed Harris include Liz Cheney, R-Wyo and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. Harris also touts endorsements from GOP former Sen.

☆ Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug Ozempic may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, study says
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Novo Nordisk 's blockbuster diabetes drug Ozempic may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, suggesting its potential to delay or prevent the memory-robbing condition, according to a study released Thursday. Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed in the mild dementia stage, when a person has significant trouble with memory and thinking. But the number of Alzheimer's patients is projected to rise to almost 13 million in the U.S. by 2050. Novo Nordisk, which did not fund the new Case Western study, is also examining semaglutide in a late-stage study on Alzheimer's patients. In the liraglutide research, data from a midstage trial found that the drug may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by protecting patients' brains.

But even some who managed to escape Israel’s offensive in the north and head farther south toward Gaza City did not survive. The Jerusalem-based human rights group B'Tselem echoed the accusation Tuesday, calling on the international community to "stop the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza." He also said the "General's plan," a proposal calling for Israel to force the evacuation of residents from northern Gaza through starvation, had not been adopted as Israeli policy. Images released by the IDF of Monday show what it says is a crowd of civilians fleeing the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Images published by the Israel Defense Forces over the weekend, showing dozens of men being detained in northern Gaza as thousands of people fled the area en masse, have also sparked alarm.

An Eli Lilly & Co. Zepbound injection pen arranged in the Brooklyn borough of New York on March 28, 2024. LONDON — U.S. pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly is exploring whether obesity drugs could be used to curb joblessness after signing a major investment deal with the U.K. The use cases for obesity drugs have been growing over recent months, with several drug regulators expanding GLP-1 drug labels for use in treating obesity-related comorbidities and other illnesses. Speaking to CNBC last week, Citi pharmaceuticals analyst Peter Verdault said the body of evidence to support increased use of weight-loss drugs "keeps coming." The company said it anticipates making an additional £279 million of new investment into the U.K. over the coming years.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday agreed to reconsider a decision it made last month to bar drug compounders from selling their own versions of Eli Lilly's blockbuster weight loss and diabetes drugs. The compounding versions of the drugs are cheaper for patients than the brand-name versions. The Sept. 30 decision by the FDA endangered the ability of compounders to sell versions of Lilly's weight loss drug Zepbound and diabetes drug Mounjaro. The FDA decision removed their active ingredient, tirzepatide, from its list of drugs experiencing shortages. Insurers generally cover drugs like tirzepatide for diabetes, but many do not cover them for weight loss.

All four drugs are in a class of wildly popular weight loss drugs known as GLP-1s. In the United Kingdom, authorities last year seized hundreds of counterfeit Ozempic pens — insulin pens that had been relabeled as Ozempic. Counterfeit weight loss drugs have serious health risks, according to the pharmaceutical companies and federal officials. Counterfeiters are already trying to cash in on a weight loss drug that the company hasn't even put on the market yet: retatrutide. But it's also one of the epicenters of the lucrative counterfeit drug trade, according to U.S. authorities who track counterfeit drugs.

Campbell Soup could be poised to benefit from an uptick in GLP-1 drug usage, according to Bernstein. Among the 20 analysts covering Campbell, only five have a strong buy or buy rating, while 12 have a hold rating. In addition, the analyst anticipates that reduced chocolate consumption from GLP-1 intake may hinder U.S. chocolate volumes by 2% to 3%. "Unfortunately, chocolate category volumes remain stubbornly negative and Hershey's chocolate volumes also remain weak despite lapping easier and easier comparables in recent months," Howard continued. Meanwhile, only four have a strong buy or buy rating, and its average target of $202.14 implies a gain of about 5% ahead.
