Apart from upbringing and environment, scientists are discovering that genes and biology are more important in the fight against obesity than previously believed.    "The people who are not increasing their weight have something special - they are resistant to obesity," said Philippe Froguel, an obesity exert and chair of genomic medicine at Imperial College in London...
