Obesity in children linked to common cold virus

No it's not. Study is crap. It is a Mr. or Mrs. Obama study - ideology devoid of fact and reason. Without these constraints, a lot of foolishness can be suggested.
Childhood obesity is not only an epidemic, it may be an infectious disease transmitted by a common cold virus, a new study suggests.

Children exposed to adenovirus-36 were more likely to be obese than were children who had no evidence of infection, according to a study published online September 20 in Pediatrics...

“That’s enormous,” says Richard Atkinson, an endocrinologist at Virginia Commonwealth University and founder of Obetech, a company that tests for antibodies against adenovirus-36. Atkinson also holds a patent on a vaccine against the virus.
"Enormous" for him - reasons obvious.

In brief, what the study showed was that older kids weigh more than younger kids.

I agree in no small part with this analysis.

And there are many, many more problems with the study - for example, where did the "extra fat" come from? Are the fat cells filled with pounds and pounds of virus particles?

More bulls**t research from an idiot with an agenda.

Here is an excerpt from an article about this study quoting the senior author:
What Schwimmer does hope the findings will do is get people to "move away from assigning blame, and broaden the way we think about obesity. Currently, there's a somewhat simplistic belief that obesity is just a person's own fault, or in the case of children, the fault of the family. But, that's an overly simplistic view, and it's not helpful," he said.
It's not "simplistic," assh**e, it is the "person's own fault."

Overconsuming Calories is a choice.

Nothing matters except Calories in vs. Calories out.

Need proof?

Try growing your infected and uninfected cell cultures in modified media - without nutrient support for your cells.

See the effects of your virus then.

Later, grow them in media with limited nutrient support so all of it is used up by the growing tissue.

Then compare the colonies.

Moron.
