Cold-Like Virus May Cause Obesity
This is also new information to me, but if this holds out in the research, then it is yet another reason to use healthy lifestyle changes to lose weight. These changes would help battle the multifactorial concerns that cause all human disease, not just obesity.
researchers at the University of Wisconsin in Madison have found that mice and chickens infected with a common human virus put on much more fat than uninfected animals. They have also discovered that the same virus is more prevalent among overweight people, a strong indication that it may also cause obesity in humans.
