1 RK, the next one is Severson. The next one after that is
2 Oishi. I have neither of those. They are prostatic

14 MR. MORRIS: On page 13 of your statement we move on to
15 diabetes. Could you outline the dietary implications for
16 diabetes?
17 A. Yes. I presume that the court is already aware that
