In a soon future there may be a quick and simple test that could show if you are infected with Ad-36, a human adenovirus that can make you over-weight.

A number of scientists have over the last years worked hard to find out more about the possible link between the human adenovirus Ad-36 and obesity. The first signs were published in 2002. A study from Wayne University showed that Ad-36 promoted weight gain in male rhesus and marmoset monkeys. In the years to follow a number of other studies were published, presenting for example how experimental infection of rats with the Ad-36-virus improved insulin sensitivity and promoted adipogenesis. Many have also searched for easy to use and cost efficient ways to detect the virus.

New Swedish research now indicates that there may soon be a home diagnostic tool, offering an over the counter means for everyone to find out if they carry the virus. Scandivir, a subsidiary of Scandinavian Clinical Nutrition reports promising results from a pilot study on a method to study samples of human serum. The samples were compared with standard methods for measuring antibody activity, and both methods showed promising correlation. The company will now study the results further. The next step will be the development for a test for professional use, which will be followed by R&D work on a test kit for use at home. Scandivir was founded in 2008 to focus entirely on Ad-36.

Time to buy some stock in some lab companies as I can see the whole US getting tested, LOL

hell yeah were can we get stock in this

LOL

Take away food and that gene is useless

Further research has shown that this virus propagates readily amongst a select group of people. It seems that the inhalation of carbon monoxide while sitting in drive-thru's weakens the immune system so upon reaching into the greasy bag of grub received for your wait acts as the catalyst by which this virus takes a hold.
Scientist;s also are perplexed why THC apparently acts as a antidote for this virus. The drug THC drives many subjects to the spawning grounds of this virus, yet these subjects remain unaffected by the weight inducing side affects of said virus.

God why do you allow for more and more excuses. I thought they just alllll had a thyroid problem, or big boned (even though they have small wrists).
