Genetic excuse for obesity 'is a myth'

Duh Alert!
Academics found that people could work off around 40 per cent of the extra weight that "fat genes" laid on them by exercising.

Although some people do have a predisposition to be overweight or even obese, scientists at the Medical Research Council's Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge discovered that having an active lifestyle could go a long way to countering a person's genetic inheritance...

They concluded: "The findings challenge the popular myth that obesity is unavoidable if it runs in the family and could guide future treatments to combat the obesity crisis."
"Guide future treatments"?

The fools had to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The only treatment - future, past and present - is fewer Calories in than out.

Period.
