30% of obese people been infected with AD-36 virus. Your opinion?

My opinion is that you really should learn how to critically read newspaper articles. \nThe article says that researchers found that a certain type of adenovirus was correlated with higher weight in birds (not necessarily causal).\nAbout 30% of obese people have another form of adenovirus (there are at least 51 human adenoviruses). \nThe article just jumps on the popular bandwagon of brandishing misleading "scientific information" that actually isn't - scientific, that is. \nIt just makes for a nice story.

Yes I have used natural anti-virals/bacterials for years and they work great. I don't fear the bird flu, westnile, etc. You have to take charge of your health because if you are counting on the government to help you, you are gonna die.

Excessive cholestrol leads to blockage of heart vessels leading to strokes.. In case of women, they already have osteoporosis (weakness of bones), overweight body cant be supposted by weak bones..hence leading to frequent fractures.. Over eating red meat leads to cancer, over eating Sweet food leads to diabetes.\n\nFrom a social point of view, obese people are either made fun of or are shunned .. that is until the other person knows the type of person inside all that blubber..

i think the predisposition to be obese is hereditary... however, although having the gene(s) could predispose you to being obese, it does not excuse you from being obese... because\n\ngenes + lifestyle = you ;p

Highly unlikely......it takes a certain amount of the virus to actually infect you.

Obesity can also occur from genetic placement. Some people are predisposed to be obese, thus are in danger of having health complications.

I agree with Beam above, with it being a guideline and not gospel.  One factor that it needs to be balanced against is lifestyle.  If an athlete with large muscle mass, your BMI will be inflated, which is not to say they are obese.  Conversely, if a person naturally small-boned and slim and fit, their BMI will appear low, which is not to say they are anorexic.  I think % of body fat needs to be taken into consideration, as well as other factors.

It is possible that some people have more resistance to AIDs than others. This has been conjectured for years. No one really knows for sure, however. And it is all of the populations of Northern Europe that suffered from the plague that might have more resistance, not just people in Iceland.

...clearly it is. People do what they can get away with. If they don't have to cook, they don't, if they don't have to walk they don't. Then patterns become routines, routines become entire lives.\n\nI watched a program in Australia a few days ago about the most obese people from the States...I was shocked by their size & how they were bedridden by their weight...one guy was around 880lbs+!!! - who had not walked in 6 years & if rolled onto his back would suffocate from his fat in his sleep !!! )-: his wife still snuck in snacks for him into the hospital. \n\nObviously u dont get to that size in a week,month,year but a lifetime...I went to my school reunion in Jan and some girl who was hot in high school and was a size 6, had put on about 90/110lbs on her 5'1'' frame!!  She was wearing a poncho! lol\n\nIn Australia the news recently had new legislation that might be signed banning junk food to be sold in the school canteens!\nRecent surveys state that this generation will be the first to actually be outlived by their parents...and that they considered obesity and childhood obesity an epedemic...obesity was defined on that tv show as someone that is 45 kgs(99lbs) over their ideal average weight for their height...!!!\n\nIt's a combo of carelessness, routine, and the mentality of fast food franchises in America...supersizing etc and one store on every corner etc...it makes it too easy...I wouldn't only blame them...people are just getting smarter and lazier with every generation...

The way you were taught to eat is responsible for making obesity (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) the #1 health problem in the world soon replacing hunger and infectious disease. You are a victim of this pandemic (epidemic).\n\nYou need to re-learn how to eat. Learn everything on the site below. Do this and you can be thin. Do this not and you stay part of this pandemic.

98 % is but there r also air born diseases and viruses that r caught not by touch but from the air.If someone ate in a room with someone who had an airborn virus you would get it.I know this from experience.Hand sanitizer is good to take anywhere especially buses and when handleing money.
