Health Is Obesity Caused By A Virus?

In the buffet of reasons for why Americans are getting fatter, researchers are piling more evidence on the plate for one still-controversial cause: a virus.

New research has found that when human stem cells — the blank slate of the cell world — were exposed to a common virus they turned into fat cells. They didn't just change, they stored fat, too.

Too much of anything is bad these days...

But seriously, bad/unabalanced diet can cause obesity, more than a virus. But I know people that eat eat and eat, and are so skinny that will make you think "he doesn't eat at all!"
