If obesity is caused by an infection, then, a major worry for obese people is removed and they can continue to eat to their stomach's content. (just kidding)
But I am not kidding about the latest scientific discovery that says obesity can be caught from a sneeze! "The AD-36 virus makes fat cells multiply leading to over weight." Oh, that means there are fat cells as well as slim cells in our body?
An Indian scientist in the U.S. has warned people that obesity can be caught as easily as a common cold from other people’s coughs, sneezes and dirty hands.
His name is Nikhil Dhurandhar and he is from Pennington Biomedical Research Centre in Louisiana.
Of course the findings are met with natural skepticism. The fat persons may as well hold on to their present diet for some moretime.
