By using unitarized two-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory partial waves todescribe pion-pion scattering we find that the dominant component of thelightest scalar meson does not follow the q-qbar dependence on the number ofcolors that, in contrast, is obeyed by the lightest vectors. The methodsuggests that a subdominant q-qbar component of the f_0(600) possiblyoriginates around 1 GeV.Comment: 4 pages, 1 Figure. To appear in Phys. Rev. Let
