Penny S. BS: Obesity a disease? Really?? (72* d) RE: BS: Obesity a disease? Really?? 23 Jun 13


A while back there was an article in New Scientist postulating that the wave of obesity spreading globally could be due to a virus. I can't remember the evidence, though I think it was something to do with the pattern of spread by comparison with disease epidemics. They may even have had a culprit. I saw it the other day when I was sending old magazines to recycle, so can't refer to it.

But here is a link to a newspaper summary of the idea.
