HELP ME PLEASE!vitamin c & fruits & veggies &idk jstplzhelp

I procrastinated and held it off. A really nice "expert" helped me... But I still need help!!! Waiting for barretttomlinson to respond. But I dont know when he will get back to me... my project is completly due dec. 10th...
Ok so I took the idea of the vitamin C and the bell peppers... and I researched some and found that vitamin C helps prevent cancer. SO i decided i wanted to incorporate that into my project. So, using a starch indicator, i want to test different fruits and vegetables ( 5 total including bell peppers) for the levels of vitamin C. But, I still cannot grasp how i can fit this into a project. Which fruit or vegetable best helps to prevent cancer. Well how do i find out how much vitamin c is needed to have an effect on the prevention of cancer.. PLEASE help me organize this or something. My project is due the 10th of december.

Help PLEASE!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!

Hi there,

It sounds like you have two very different questions that you are trying to connect:
(1) Which fruit or vegetable has the most Vitamin C?
(2) What are the effects of Vitamin C on cancer?

Given your deadline, I think you should focus on the first question. Perhaps you can experiment with the second question for your next science project.

Do you have a way to measure the amount of Vitamin C in your fruits and veggies? Based on your background research, do you have a hypothesis as to which fruit or veggie will contain the most Vitamin C?

Hope this helps...
Heather
