obesity is a virus, McDonalds rejoices

30 January, 2006 16:00

We once thought big macs and large shakes were the steming cause of obesity. McDonalds rejoice! We now have proof of a correlation with the heaviest obese people, and a strain of virus called Ad-36.

A physiologist at the University of Wisconsin Madison injected a group of chickens with three strains of adenovirus--Ad-2, Ad-31 and Ad-37.

"...chickens carrying Ad-37 were found to have nearly three times as much fat in their guts and more than two times as much fat over their entire body at the end of the three-and-a-half week period."

Certain strains of adenoviruses are responsible for pink eye and chest colds.

"I am not saying that all obesity is caused by viruses," Dhurandhar notes. "Obesity has multiple causes and viruses may be one of those causes." --Nikhil Dhurandhar of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center

New fast food slogan, USDA certified adenoviruse and obesity free. [digg]
