Virus Causes Obesity!

See it is not my bad eating habits. It is not the fact I do not exercise. Being fat is because I have a viral infection.

See full story

"In that earlier work, the virus was spotted among 30 percent of obese individuals compared with just 11 percent of non-obese people."

I saw this on the evening news.

Yes external forces can make it harder for some to lose weight than others. If control your diet and exercise then these road blocks become just bumps. Look at the 11% that are not obese.

The virus is an interesting finding though. It may lead to something that can help up to 30% of the obese. Any help will probably still require good old fashion "Eating right and exercise"
