Cancer Study on Papaya Leaf Extract Under Review

Cancer Study on Papaya Leaf Extract Under Review

There's a big discussion happening in the science world about a study that looked at papaya leaf extract for cancer treatment.

A doctor named Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, who is known online as Liverdoc, said he had some worries about the study.

Because of this, the journal that published the study, called JCO Global Oncology, put a special note on it.

This note says they're checking the concerns but haven't decided if anything bad happened.

It's like when a teacher says they'll look into something but hasn't given a final answer yet.

The journal is still looking into it, so we'll have to wait to see what they find out.
