There’s never a doubt that people will blame anything but themselves for failures or problems. When people are healthy, they take full credit for it. Now that a majority of people are fat and getting fatter, the easy excuse is to blame a virus. When you gain a few extra pounds during the holidays, you just blame some co-worker who spread a virus.
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.
