MDRF supports PETA's request to PM Modi to declare Gandhi Jayanthi as National Meat Free Day

Kochi, Oct 2 (UNI) Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) has supported the PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) request to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare Gandhi Jayanthi as National Meat Free Day, MDRF Director V Mohan said.
This demand is based on a study that was recently published by Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) and The University of Reading in UK which showed how lower dietary intake of plant protein is associated with a greater genetic risk of diabetes-related traits in Urban Indians, Dr. VMDRF Director, said in a press release here on Friday.
Commenting on the study, Dr. V Mohan said “The study looked at genetic and environmental factors that caused diabetes. There was a strong association between diet and genetic risk factors."
