25、oticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.Scientists say that when some people eat,

27、how that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat.
