WARNING: TOUCHING THAT RECEIPT IS MAKING YOU FAT

Krushchev

On a similar level, there is a virus called adrenovirus which basically causes the symptoms of a cold, however, it gets into your lungs and spreads to adipocytes (fat cells) via the blood and through other tissue. It causes the lipid droplets that are inside the adipocytes to get bigger (i.e absorb more fat from your diet). This causes the cells to expand and eventually divide, the process is repeated until you get over the virus.

The problem with getting extra fat cells is you can't ever get rid of them. Through diet and exercise they can shrink and become almost no existent but are still their in the same amounts and will absorb fat from your diet, this is why people who lose a lot weight can but it on quite easily again but people who only put a tiny bit of weight on and lost it or never had the weight to begin with have a harder time gaining weight because they have less fat cells. Thus the virus has a permanent effect on you.

The worst part is the virus is not uncommon and causes you to gain enough wait over the 3 months its in your system that you got extra adipocytes. As it is a virus its obviously easily spread which means you can literally catch weight-gain/obesity off of other ill obese people.

Out of curiosity, I googled. Adrenovirus is a virus reptiles can get and something called adenovirus (which covers different viruses) is basically a tummy bug or a respiratory infection. Nothing about multiplying fat cells.

Dude, it was totally BroScience. Google doesn't know about BroScience.

OMG! ROUND UP AND QUARANTINE THE FATTIES!

Oh no...I CAUGHT FAT!!!

I Googled it too. Found a particular adenovirus which can positively affect adipogenesis by upregulating and downregulating certain signal pathways. However, if a respiratory virus is infecting your fat cells via the blood stream, you've got bigger problems. Mainly, sepsis.

You don't get sepsis from viruses, you get it from bacteria

I always double check my food to make sure no obesogens are hiding.

Sometimes they jump out from behind trees and you can't avoid them.

You have a point there. My point is, getting a respiratory illness into your fat cells is quite a feat. I did take the time to properly evaluate that study's methods either, so I can't say how legitimate it is.

Money also makes you fat. Send it all to me, and I'll dispose properly.

Whilst correct, it can be argued that a system affected by a virus will have a lowered immune response towards bacteria, thus making secondary bacterial infection more likely.

But mostly, I love the word "obesogen". Even if it's real, I will never be able to take that seriously! I actually clicked away from the thread the first time as an automatic response to reading it - must've triggered the quack centre in my brain, ho hum!

LOL...how bizarre.

Everybody probably touches these things every day and some people are fat and some people aren't ... the people that aren't eat well and exercise well...

I'm sure there is something in this research but I don't think it will make the blindest bit of difference relatively speaking. I am not going to be afraid of my receipts that's for sure!!!!

Interesting though!

No, you caught the HOT DAMN MAMI virus.

Sign. I wish it were receipts and plastic water bottles that made me fat; it would be much less painful to give them up. I have a sneaking suspicion that it was the ice cream, cake, frosting, yeast rolls, cheese fries, cinnamon rolls, and foot long subs that were my obesogens.

lol ikr

Let's not forget, fat cells do die off when empty. So that whole rambling is pretty much just wrong on all counts.

Wait, are they ever empty if they are made of fat? More details please :noway:

Maybe....but the worst are the "Sit on your *kitten*-atrons" emanating from computer screens everywhere.

Adipose cells aren't made of fat. They store fat.

So, if I tell them to keep the receipt, I can eat the pizza and not worry about getting fat?! SCORE!!!

Seriously, the air you breathe and things that we POSSIBLY in no way can avoid and you are worried about minimal ink on receipts? You aren't supposed to lick them, you know

Wow. Amazing how many people feel the need to be snide. Including the poster who made the obnoxious "sitting on your *kitten*" comment. And to the person who thinks lass water bottles are a bad idea, check out lifefactory.com or takeya's water bottles. Both come with protective sleeves in case you drop them.

Not sure why you're acting so shocked that people didn't take your post seriously... The title pretty much sums it up...

I agree along w/ no physical movement and loads of jelly beans

I want to avoid the OP's gym. Cuts from the broken glass of her water bottle would make me angry.

THIS! I'm surprised that a gym allows glass water bottles.

Where does one find a protective sleave for a Mason jar?
