A Virus Can Cause Weight Gain?
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008Actually this is one of those good news/bad news things. I was thumbing through the April 2008 issue of Oprah’s magazine and a question from an anonymous reader, to columnist Dr. David L. Katz, caught my eye.
The reader asked if it’s true that a virus can cause weight gain. The answer? Yes!
Wow. I know they are finding all sorts of links to genes that may cause hair to behave a certain way (grow, fall out, get thicker) but I had no idea that we could gain weight from catching a virus.
