Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 From the Sun, Uk. Personally I think this is a complete scam. How in the heck can a virus cause obesity. Is this an attempt to just sell more drugs? Our food supply is in the toilet, no nutrients - only empty carbs and so people are getting fatter and fatter as their bodies are storing whatever it can get out of any of the junk food that is thrown at it, and now they say it is a virus? Come on. I hope some smarter people than me who know about this things can please explain more. Craig http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2171311.ece You ain't fat, it's just a tubby bug PEOPLE can catch a bug which makes them obese, claim scientists. The virus is picked up from a sneeze, a cough or dirty hands like a cold. The new research supports earlier theories from studies on weight gain. Weight off some people's minds ... claim by scientists Evidence in tests on mice and chickens shows the bug could cause tubbies to pile on the pounds. In one test a THIRD of obese people had the rare and highly contagious virus compared to just 11 PER CENT of thinner people. US Professor Nikhil Dhurandhar said the virus, known as AD-36, goes to the lungs then whisks around the body. It forces fat cells to multiply and also causes sore throats. Tissue He said: " When this virus goes to fat tissue it replicates ... which may explain why people get fat when infected. " Weight gain can last three months until the body has built up resistance to the bug. But Prof Dhurandhar of Louisiana, US, tells BBC2's Horizon tonight: " People could be fat for reasons other than viral infections, so it's pointless for fat people to try to avoid infection. " The programme also reveals research claiming dieters always feel hungry because humans have a " natural body weight " and they will always suffer hunger pangs.

Yes we have a natural body weight , but when given the proper nutrients the hunger pangs are never there, as the body isn't craving anything. It was the low fat craze that messed everybody up. The answer is to eat fat, as it contains all the nutrients, along with super and natural foods that contain rich nutrients and guess what, your body normalizes to its natural body weight. additional comment from Craig On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 12:26 PM, Craig Rawlings <craig wrote: From the Sun, Uk.
