Little People of Ecuador Could Hold Key to Cancer Cure

July 25, 2022 By Paul

Scientific research often takes most unexpected path. In the newest development, a team of researchers is trying to explain how a group of people in remote area of Ecuador rarely experiences cancer.

Furthermore, the number of those suffering from diabetes is also well below the average. Understanding this correlation may open further opportunities in the quest for cure.

Key Takeaways:
