Day 014 - 20 Jul 94 - Page 28
1 MR. RAMPTON: So everybody, according to the Department of
Health, has some sort of activity level?
2 A. Well, unless one lies in bed all day.
3 Q. Can we turn over, please, to table 2.7 on page 27? Can we
take the first block of people who are men of 19 to 29
4 years old?
A. Yes.
5
Q. We take an averagely active person who is quite active at
6 home, quite active at work, weighing 75 kilos, about 11
stone 11 pounds?
7 A. About that order.
8 Q. We see he has, of course, according to the table we have
just looked at, a PAL of 1.7. Then we see he is
9 attributed an estimated average requirement for energy of
13 megajoules per day; is that right?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Go across from 75?
A. Yes, I have that.
12
Q. Down from 1.7. Am I right that 13 megajoules converts
13 into 3,087.5 kilo calories?
A. It sounds about right.
14
MR. MORRIS: Say that again?
15
MR. RAMPTON: 3087.5 -- one can work it out by looking at the
16 bottom of the page -- one sees 8 megajoules equals 1900
kilo calories.
17
I will come back to those figures in due course when we
18 discuss the contents of McDonald's meals, but I have done
that exercise so we need not look at the calculation
19 again. "Fat" is in chapter 3 on page 39. Is it right,
Professor Wheelock, that the discussion of fat is broken
20 down into topics, cardiovascular disease on page 44?
A. Yes.
21
Q. Cancer on page 49?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. Obesity on page 52?
A. Yes.
24
Q. Diabetes mellitus on page 54?
25 A. Yes.
26 Q. Is there at the back of this chapter a list of 92
references running over some six pages?
27 A. Yes, that is correct.
28 Q. I do not need, I think, to ask you to consider the
contents of the detailed reasoning, as it were, of these
29 chapters, but I would like to ask you about the beginning
part, 3.1 "Essential Fatty Acids". It says: "The EFAs
30 are linoleic acid and alpha linolenic acid". What
exactly are the essential fatty acids?
