my guess is that it uses the body as a host and the person eats more to get the same nutrition they've been having but they're not getting it because the virus is taking it and storing it. sounds like a genetic enhancement gone wrong. candida works the same way though. it feeds off of the sugar in your body and you crave more and more sugar because the candida is eating it... byproduct, besides gross fungus and feeling like you've got the flu, can be intoxication. I believe this is totally possible... even probably given the way that we treat our bodies nutritionally and it might be a result of some of the preservatives and other chemical toxins we put in our bodies. Viruses especially multiply extremely rapidly.
Why would they post my ass welll hmmmm......I think the way the world's going today...people are eating like PIGS!
reading is so important it's not THE reason people are obese, no one is claiming that. It is a possible temporary factor.
