What is the hypothesis of your chosen research paper? You can either copy and paste it directly from the paper OR you can paraphrase it in your own words
Waiting for grade
The hypothesis of the research paper titled "Dietary Fat and Sugar in Promoting Cancer Development and Progression" by Marcus D. Goncalves, Benjamin D. Hopkins, and Lewis C. Cantley is that dietary factors, specifically the consumption of fat and sugar, contribute to the development and progression of cancer.

What type of study methods/approaches were used in the research for the paper you read? Here is a list of possible answers, choose the one for your article: Meta-analysis/systematic review, randomized controlled trials, cohort study, case control study,cross-sectional studies, case study.
Waiting for grade
The scientist utilizes a combination of meta-analysis/systematic review and cohort study approaches. They integrate data from prospective cohort trials and mechanistic studies in mice to evaluate the role of dietary fat and sugar in cancer development.

What is the conclusion of the paper your skimmed?
Do you think that intermittent fasting or sugar consumption (your answer will depend upon which study you picked) helps in cancer treatment? Why or why not? Provide evidence from your article.
Waiting for grade
The conclusion of the paper states that there is no clear evidence directly linking dietary fats and sugars with cancer development. The specific types of cancer like colorectal and endometrial cancers might be influenced by sugar, and prostate cancer by fats. Obesity also plays a significant role in cancer development, especially for breast cancer, because it can be affected by high intakes of fat and sugar. The paper suggests that reducing obesity and controlling dietary intake of fats and sugars might help lower the risk of cancer. The paper does not specifically discuss intermittent fasting and its role in cancer treatment. Intermittent fasting has been studied for its benefits like reducing insulin resistance and inflammation, which might indirectly affect cancer. In my opinion, more detailed studies are needed to directly link intermittent fasting with cancer treatment. The paper highlights the importance of diet management in cancer but doesn’t make a definite statement on intermittent fasting without more evidence.

When deciding how reliable a study is, you need to consider strength of scientific evidence. Place the following types of studies into order from strongest to weakest evidence (keeping in mind that just because a research that falls towards the bottom of the hierarchy is not useless, it just does not have a lot of support-yet- more investigations are needed).
