00:00Megyn Kelly blasts Oprah Winfrey for calling obesity a disease.
00:05As she promotes GLP-1 drugs during book tour, cop out.
00:10Megyn Kelly wasn't shy about blasting Oprah Winfrey's latest book that promoted the use of GLP-1 drugs.
00:15GLP-1 medication for weight loss.
00:17The whole theory of this book is that obesity is a disease.
00:20Obesity is a disease that happens to you.
00:22And all those efforts were for not because she didn't have will.
00:25But because she has a disease, Kelly, 55, discussed during the first episode,
00:30Friday, January 16th, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:35Megyn Kelly slammed Oprah Winfrey's latest book.
00:38The journalist claimed Winfrey's idea
00:40that GLP-1 medication helped her
00:42quiet the food noise was a lie.
00:45GLP-1 is a diabetes medication that has gained popularity in
00:50Hollywood for its weight loss effects.
00:52The drugs act in the brain to reduce hunger.
00:55And act on the stomach to delay emptying.
00:57So you feel full for a longer time.
01:00According to Harvard Health.
01:02I've not been obese my whole life.
01:04I constantly...
01:05I constantly think about food, too.
01:06It's called being human, Kelly pointed out.
01:09It's a reward.
01:10We all love it.
01:10You eat out of boredom.
01:12I mean, millions of Americans who have never been obese have that food.
