Qiaunci Jones- 7th Grader Fighting Cancer W/ Green Tea
At 12 years old, Stephen Litt has discovered cancer-fighting chemicals in green tea.
The middle schooler's project for the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair used an antioxidant in green tea to fight cancer growth in worms. It's won prizes across the state and gained attention from researchers nationwide. Stephen, who lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia, became interested in cancer-related research after two family friends were diagnosed with breast cancer. He immediately began reading up on cancer, and found an article about decreased rates of the disease in Japan in connection with the antioxidants in green tea
I believe that this is a miracle that we have a little hope for the generations after us. I'm glad that this boy is dedicated to help his family. I kinda think Cancer is becoming an epidemic because now it's everywhere. Which leads to me theory of the government giving people Cancer in order to fix overpopulation. Also, I feel like they have the cure to cancer already. Anyways that's just my opinion. This can be related to anything with Cancer or kid scientist.
