Not taking them because they're too new and lots of new stuff turned out to be bad news is smart.
But then if you're not taking them and your neighbor is, and they're losing a bunch of weight and you're not, well you feel like a loser.
So classic human psychology, become invested in there being some bad side to them, and then end up kind of "hoping" for it...
Very realistic progression, nothing that esoteric.
