Some peoples weight problems may be caused by a common cold virus.
Experiments with animals suggest that AD-36 a virus which causes cold like symptoms interferes with the normal process of absorbing food energy and converts far more of it into fat.
There have been five other viruses to date that have shown an impact on obesity but this is first human one
Some early research indicates that about 30% of obese people had contracted AD-36 compared to 5% for lean people.
There might be a percentage of people in whom this virus might be contributing to their obesity.
Vaccines against this virus might one day be possible.
