A new study suggests they&#8217;re also changing how consumers spend on food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Researchers at Cornell University&#8217;s SC Johnson College of Business found that households with at least one GLP-1 user reduced grocery spending by 5.3% within six months of starting treatment. Higher-income households saw even steeper declines of 8.2%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">The study examined users of popular obesity drugs such as Novo Nordisk&#8217;s (<a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/NVO\" data-ylk=\"slk:NYSE:NVO;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NYSE:NVO<\/a>) Wegovy and Eli Lilly (<a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/LLY\" data-ylk=\"slk:NYSE:LLY;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NYSE:LLY<\/a>) and Company&#8217;s Zepbound and was published in the Journal of Marketing Research.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">The sharpest pullbacks were concentrated in calorie-dense, processed foods, with spending on savory snacks falling 10.1%. Outlays at fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, and other limited-service dining venues dropped about 8%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Some healthier categories, such as yogurt, saw modest increases. Notably, researchers found food purchases tend to revert once GLP-1 use ends, underscoring both the scale and limits of the shift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
