In this article it discusses, the possibility of berries preventing cancer. To test this, scientist injected rats with a carcinogenic chemical. Some were feed normal food and others ate a similar meal that included 5 percent of one of the berries in a dehydrated form. Most of the rats that digested chow developed tumors however, a little more than half of the rats that eat the chow with the berries developed tumors. Black berries have a higher chance of preventing cancer. Nonetheless, new work's are showing that berries need a larger concentration of compounds, ellagitannin and anthocyanin to fight cancer. The berries are being used to prevent tumors and breast cancer.
Questions:
1) The experiment in my article was an example of a hypothesis based science because they had a question, and then looked for the solution.
2) This research is very important to humans because now a days, basically anything can cause cancer. Therefore, individuals must look for ways of preventing it especially because cancer is very dangerous.
