Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/81810/...g-you-can-catch OBESITY can be "caught" as easily as a common cold from other people's coughs, sneezes and dirty hands, scientists will claim today. Researchers believe that an airborne "adenovirus" germ could be causing the fat plague that is blighting Britain and other countries. As many as one in three obese people may have become overweight after falling victim to the highly infectious cold-like virus, known as AD-36. It is known to cause coughs, sore throats, diarrhoea and conjunctivitis but has now also been found to make fat cells multiply, leading to weight gain. Horizon: Why Are Thin People Not Fat? is on BBC2 at 9pm tonight. :D :D :D Edited January 26, 2009 by Lucky_Fr4gg3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
