Both, Kate and Amaranth suggested that:- CPDTF, CGOTS and CAGNF were also to blame.

I must agree, its partly that, since nobody came out the Nazi concentration camps fat!

But this Adenovirus is worrying, dont you think?

That story about the Adeno virus is interesting. Still, the only way to gain weight is to burn less calories than you eat. I've read that the more empty fat cells you have the more hungry you become. So, if as the report claims, the virus stimulates the production of new fat cells it could make you more hungry even though you are expending the same amount of energy.
