Yogurt has long been praised as a wholesome, nutritious food, Yasmin Tayag writes. But the line between this “elixir of the dairy aisle” and ice cream is a whole lot blurrier than you might think: theatlantic.com/health/archive…


It's tempting to think of all off-brand Ozempic as bad, but the reality is a lot murkier. Amid all the dangerous counterfeit drugs, there are also many legal dupes—and they aren't going away anytime soon. My latest for The Atlantic: theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Obesity-drug shortages have led to a boom in risky alternatives. They may be impossible to stop, writes Yasmin Tayag. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
