Research published this week has found one of the strongest genetic links to obesity, with carriers having a 35 per cent increased risk of developing obesity.The US-based researchers found the genetic variant in Samoan populations, where they have been studying the high rate of obesity.About 45 per cent of the Samoan groups examined carried the gene, which as well as increasing the risk of obesity, also seemed to offer some protection against type 2 diabetes.

(WXYZ) - New evidence now links our body's natural internal clock and exposure to light with an increase for obesity.Researchers noted waist size, height and body weight of over 1,100 people at the start and end of the study period.After 21 months, participants who were exposed to too much light in the late evening and during the night were more likely to see their waist size increase.
