Malaysia Hindu Dharma Mamandram (MHDM) is cooperating with University Malaya researcher Dr Rafidah Hod who is currently performing research into vegetarianism. Her project is comparing the levels of different hormones in vegetarian and non-vegetarian male subjects. Most of the vegetarians in Malaysia are believed to be either Hindus or Buddhists. As one of the leading Hindu organizations in Malaysia, Malaysia Hindu Dharma Mamandram hopes to help Dr Rafidah find vegetarian volunteers to provide blood samples for the study.
Blood samples can be given at Malaysia Hindu Dharma Mamandram Klang Arul Nilayam’s Blood Drive and Free Medical Camp on Sunday, August 17, 2008. Anyone interested in participating in this study can contact MHDM for more information.
