Wrong the people who are obese usually eat to much or the thyroid is not functioning properly or have other health issues making it hard to either take weigh off or to keep from gaining weight not a virus.If this is a virus that makes people gain weight then its been around since the beginning of time and this is just now being found.?.? Are there carriers of this I will have to ck this out!!! Good question and something for me to look into thanks.Health Question & Answer

Yeah, generally it's called GREED.

Apparently it's a gene, not a virus, that we inherit.

We must have always been able to inherit this gene, not just in recent years.

Lifestyle plus this gene may be to blame, but you must take the lifestyle into account.

If you eat then sit on your butt all day, the fat will sit there with you; if you exercise and eat healthy foods then the difference will be noticeable.Health Question & Answer

It is 'caught' in childhood, and is not really transferable when shaking hands or anything. I think the virus makes you predisposed to obesity, obviously if you eat healthily and don't overeat, and exercise then there is no reason to become obese.Health Question & Answer

It's probably a load of rubbish and it's an excuse for fat people. "You're overweight" "oh yh, I caught it" - lol, err, don't think so.Health Question & Answer

I know a low thyroid can cause obesity and I imagine various illnesses can lead to it but I don't know. Google it.
