__ Obesity could be caused by a virus? __ Some scientist have said that obesity could be caused by a virus but it has not been proved that it is because a viral infection. In an article i’ve read there it says that the condition of obesity has been linked to a highly-infectious virus which causes sniffles and sore throats. __ There are two diabetes types: __ · Diabetes type 2 was for people who were older than 40 years but now it is called late-onset diabetes because now the age has been reduced to the teen years or less. This is more common on the 1st world countries and as a fox news said it spreads like common cold. · Diabetes type 1, insulin-dependent, or juvenile insulin isn’t as common as the other one.

According to a news a three-quarters of diabetes' cases are type 2. There were two interesting articles i’ve found and both of them tell that it could be possible to make an inactive form of the enteroviruses so they can use it in a vaccination campaign to reduce the amount of diabetes cases.
