Here is a hi-res scanning electron microscope picture of the "adenovirus" AD-36.

We should all have an eating plan that we will stay with for the rest of our lives. Youre not done until you know you will eat that way, happily, forever.
Yes. This is exactly correct.

This is the 4th thread in 3 years to describe the tendency of the AD-36 virus to cause obesity. Click on the keyword, ad36, and find Coleus' thread.
Earlier this year, researchers in Dhurandhar's lab found that exposure to the virus actually caused adult human stem cells to turn into fat-storing cells.

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.
I heard about this over 10 years ago in grad school. Even if fat cells multiply, you still can't get any fatter than the amount of fat represented by the energy intake in excess of energy expenditure. Of course a complicating factor could be that the excess fat cells could add to hunger signals leading to more eating than is necessary for energy homeostasis.

I was quite impressed by your recent post of the “Atkins” diet and Type II diabetes. It seems that they have truly found a “cure”.
Along these lines, I read with great interest “Good Calories, Bad Calories” by Gary Taube. The inescapable truth is that carbs, plain and simple, are the source of our problem, though HFCS is certainly a terrible food, as carbs go.
Looking for a magic bullet like the cold virus takes away the blame that we owe ourselves for the totally bankrupt nutritional advice that the government has served us for the past 50 years. Anybody who is interested in the history of suecessful weight loss should read the portions of the Taube book about “reducing diets.” These have been around for years, have always been successful, but fly in the face of conventional nutritional thinking.
I’ll take a pass on the adeno virus “cure”.

What about all those casseroles and homemade desserts that women keep leaving at your front door? Wonder if the virus is foodborne, as well?

Now that you mention it I had pneumonia, the hospital infection kind, after surgery. I had always been thin, but after that I started gaining weight...never had to worry about it before, but afterward a different story. I had never made the connection until reading this thread. Well, whether or not it's the reason I think I shall adopt it :^)

Wow. I remember my turning point too. Freshman in H.S. thin and then half way through my sophomore year I had appendicitis, emergency surgery, and fought my weight ever since.

That must explain the few extra pounds I’ve put on recently. And all this time I thought it was the ‘junk’ I’ve been eating more than normal this winter. Guess it’s not my fault, good! I’ll get some more Doritos at the store tomorrow, maybe some hoho’s too : )

His studies indicated that the virus lingers for up to three months, during which time it multiplies fat and is contagious to others. 3 months of swelling fat cells translates to a lifetime of obesity? Does it work retroactively? Sounds fishy to me.

The neighborhood cats must be eating them.

To all those who have ever scorned a fat person and insisted that they must be fat just because they eat like a pig...well, in the immortal words of Sam Kinnison, “Bite me.”
