**About this table**

Dinner is an appealing place to begin thinking about appetite. The papers make the conversation more complicated.

## Dinner and drinking

The New York in this name suggests a scene to me: restaurant windows, people gathering, an evening with several possible endings. It provides a setting for a question about appetite. It provides no evidence about the health or behavior of New Yorkers.

The [small randomized alcohol-use-disorder trial](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39937469/) diverted my curiosity into a different part of the evening. Laboratory alcohol consumption and heavy drinking gave the question a concrete form. That experiment, and the work it invites, account for my enthusiasm.

The [rodent food-preference findings](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32213703/) make the broader appetite question appealing, too. But an imagined dinner party can get ahead of its evidence very quickly. I am happiest when the appealing idea has to sit beside an awkward result, a narrow study population or an unanswered question.

## An editorial research site

Semaglutide New York is an editorial research site where published studies about appetite get a seat at my table; the name belongs to no business. The name identifies this editorial site. There is no local practice or treatment service behind it.

These essays cannot assess a person's health, select a medicine or resolve a symptom, and they provide no medical advice. Questions about personal treatment need a clinician who can consider the actual circumstances. An experiment about drinking also leaves the personal safety of drinking outside the scope of this site.

Patience runs out for me when appetite research makes every outcome sound welcome. The [safety review](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34305810/) earns space here for the same reason the drinking experiment does: it changes the conversation. Curiosity about a finding carries no obligation to make it flattering.

For the studies themselves, there is the [reading list](/references). The [contact page](/contact) states the current correspondence limits and the information a correction would need.

At this editorial table I argue with published research on appetite and drinking; Semaglutide New York is no business, and these essays offer no medical advice.
