Makna Grant for Food Researchers

Kuala Lumpur: The National Cancer Council (Makna) will provide a RM200,000 grant to Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)'s food technology researchers to study cooking methods that can reduce the risk of cancer.
Makna president Datuk Mohamed Farid Ariffin said yesterday the study would begin this year and was expected to be completed in two years.
"In Western countries, there are studies that show that open grilling can cause cancer but we don't know the Malaysian method," he said.
