2 MR. RAMPTON: An interesting line of hypothesis, one might
3 almost call it speculation, I do not know, that the
4 parallel between, as it were, the incidences of heart
5 disease and of certain kinds of cancer might be found in
6 the damage done by diet to the endothelium. I do not
7 know. I just wondered whether the Swedish Congress
8 canvassed any possibilities of that kind?
9 A. They certainly did not.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Could you pick up a phone or someone in your
12 department and ring whoever it was who invited you to that
13 symposium and see if they have a copy?
14 A. I will certainly could do that, otherwise I will be
15 happy to remove it from my evidence.
16
17 MR. RAMPTON: Perhaps we can forget Sweden for the moment. One
18 of your references that I do not have is No. 6 by
19 O'Connor, Robuck, Peterson and Campbell, 1985: "Effect of
20 dietary intake of fish oil and fish protein in the
21 development of
22 ... lesions in the pancreas. Journal of the National
23 Cancer Institute". That I do not have. I wonder again,
24 Professor Crawford, whether in the light of what you have
25 now said about fish and fish oil it really matters.
26
27 MS. STEEL: You should have been given a copy of that this
28 morning.
29
30 MR. RAMPTON: Maybe I should. I have got Ready and Ready but
31 not I think O'Connor.
32
33 MS. STEEL: I can make a copy of that. I did think I gave the
34 Plaintiffs a copy.
35
36 MR. RAMPTON: Not so, but it does not matter as long as I get
37 one. I believe we now have the whole of the Scottish
38 publication and the whole of the, is it, British Nutrition
39 Foundation publication?
40 A. That is correct.
41
42 Q. You are content we should have those long enough to be
43 able to make copies?
44 A. Yes, surely.
45
46 MR. MORRIS: On that subject, we have not got copies; we have
47 only one copy. Are these your copies that must be
48 returned to you?
49 A. That is a copy that was made in my department --
50 somewhat illegally I suspect -- but this is the original
51 book. It is available from Chapman and Hall, but it is a
52 book we are constantly referring to which is why I would
53 be happy to leave you with that copy which is easier to
54 photocopy anyway.
55
56 MR. MORRIS: All I am saying is that copies both of the
57 Scottish Diet and this one, if the Plaintiffs can make two
58 copies.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The first thing is for them to have the use
