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
AgelessSin Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 That is so stupid, maybe it's all coincidence that people are getting sick from people coughing on them :P Quote
=BLACKWOLF= Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I bet it's just an excuse fat people use to avoid the inevitable realisation that they really are just too in love with food. Quote
