Korean breakfast toast in the spotlight as 'natural Ozempic'

The Korean breakfast toast is making the rounds as a so-called 'natural Ozempic'. The product, known as a low-calorie and fiber-rich breakfast, is said to have a similar effect on digestion and appetite.

According to ELLE.be, the product is promoted because of its potential influence on blood sugar levels and satiety. However, it is unclear whether there is scientific evidence for the comparison with the drug Ozempic.

The product itself is a rusk-like biscuit, often combined with yogurt or other health products. It is popular in Korea and is now also being discussed in other countries.

Gastroenterologists emphasize that natural products rarely have the same effect as medicines. Those considering using the toast as a replacement are advised to consult a doctor first.
