    Study: Fat can be caused by a virus

    A common virus that causes colds can be a factor in obesity, according to a study released Monday offering further evidence that a weight problem may be contagious.

    The adenovirus-36 (Ad 36) has already been implicated as the cause of weight gain in animals, but with this study researchers showed for the first time that it can also cause humans to pile on the pounds.

    The findings could accelerate the development of a vaccine or an antiviral medication to help fight the battle of the bulge alongside diet and exercise.

    "We're not saying that a virus is the only cause of obesity, but this study provides stronger evidence that some obesity cases may involve viral infections," said Magdalena Pasarica, an obesity researcher at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

    Let's start a government funded group to help fight the virus that causes fat. What color should our little ribbon be? We could have little grease stains on it. Oh and we need a celebrity spokes person.

    This just in ... Fat is GOOD !!!

    Dr H L Trivedi and his team from Ahmedabad claim that they have discovered a cell that is present in human fat that can produce insulin, when cultivated......The miracle stem cell can be transplanted into the liver, where it not only multiplies, but produces insulin as well - much like the islet cells that produce insulin in the pancreas.

    So , now Drs will be paying patients to come in for Lipo , the Gubermint will pay folks to eat at fast food joints ...

    Let the fat harvesting begin !!

    (Gives a whole new meaning of "Fat Farm" , though .... )
    Since Obama stole the election , watch for these these radical anti Freedom , anti-Americans to head to Washington ...

    I demand that the gubmint immediately invest $100 billion dollars in research for a cure for the virus, so that I can eat Oreos and SuzyQs and Hershey Symphony bars without consequences.
