Consider the current expanding state of the universe. A veritable change in density of the universe can also be inferred from this situation. As it is stated as a law of physics that substances less dense would be buoyant in a lattice of a denser substance, could it not be true that the expansion of the universe is simply due to outer less dense regions floating away from it's denser core?
Also, as molecules possess the property of gravitational pull, our gravitational mass would also increase. The reason being that matter is brought outward farther from us due to the expansion of the universe, hence each molecule that is brought out has decreasing effects of gravitational pull against bodies nearer to the core (i.e. earth), therefore we're all getting heavier.
It is definitely true then, that we are gaining weight intrinsically.
The existing resolution of this thread is to alarm people that the weight gain observed in your scales might not be due to an increase in matter, but rather simply accountable to the increase in gravitational pull of our bodies towards earth.
