CureYourBody.com is excited to announce the launch of its new forums. The next several months will be critical to setting up the forums the way you want them to be. So if you feel we should add more categories or sub forums, please let us know.

We'll add sub forums on our own as well, if we feel a large number of posts are being made on a specific topic. For example, "Colon Cleansing" was added as a sub forum to the Gastroenterology forum since there seems to be a lot of posts for that specific subject.

I read somewhere in a magazine last month that scientists had found strong evidence that links a certain human adenovirus or AD-36 to obesity. Although the experiments were conducted on chickens and mice, were there studies that suggest this is also true to humans? I find little materials or information about this in the web. Anybody has the idea?

In a research conducted in Obetech Obesity Research Center in Richmond, Virginia it was found that of the 502 blood samples of people 30% of the obese ones had anti-bodies to Ad-36. They weighed 22kg more on average than those without the manifestation of Ad-36 infection. It was also found that when Ad-36 enters fat cells, it stimulates fat production and triggers the cells to store fat faster.

In that case we can get obesity the way we catch a could. Now, this is interesting.
