(KGTV) — A story that seems hard to believe claims chocolate sales are rising faster among GLP-1 weight-loss drug users than in the rest of the population.
But apparently it's true.
Swiss chocolatier Lindt says an internal study found 15% of U.S. Households use GLP-1’s, representing 17.5% of chocolate sales in February.
And the company says U.S. Sales of premium chocolate increased among GLP-1 users by nearly 17% percent last year, compared to just under 7% among non-users.
The company speculates users are replacing big, high-calorie items like pizza and potato chips with small, premium indulgences like chocolate.
