Day 266 - 20 Jun 96 - Page 27


     
     1        A.  I found page 35, yes.
     2
     3   Q.   You have.  Excellent.  Just cast your eye over little Roman
     4        3, which is the second complete paragraph on the page.  It
     5        may have been read this morning, I do not know?
     6        A.   You mean the bit starting: "Energy value"?
     7
     8   Q.   Yes, that is right.  "Energy value" in italics.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Which page Mr. Rampton?
    11
    12   MR. RAMPTON:  Page 35, the paragraph near the top of the page
    13        beginning little Roman 3 in italics and starting at the
    14        top: "Energy values".
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  I asked the witness just to read over again that
    19        paragraph, which is not very long (pause)?
    20        A.   Yes.
    21
    22   Q.   Right.  Now you said, I think, this morning that so far as
    23        you know the proposals made by this panel, whatever it was,
    24        in 1983 have remained substantially unchanged as a
    25        consensus for good health amongst people like yourself.  Is
    26        that right?
    27        A.   Yes.
    28
    29   Q.   So you would endorse, or approve, what is said in little
    30        Roman 3 in that paper would you?
    31        A.   Would you ask me what particular part you want me to
    32        endorse?
    33
    34   Q.  "Energy values should be maintained because more exercise
    35        throughout the population is to be encouraged."   Agreed?
    36        A.  Yes.
    37
    38   Q.   And then there is some stuff about the amount, about
    39        reducing fat and sugar intakes, and then it says: "These
    40        should be replaced palatively by low fat foods, mainly
    41        bread brown and whole meal, potatoes, fruit and other
    42        vegetables."   Then it gives some quantities, and then
    43        says: "This will probably mean increasing bread, potatoes
    44        and fruit and vegetable consumption, each of them by 25-30
    45        per cent.   These changes will also have the desirable
    46        effect of dietary fibre."   Do you see any reason to
    47        dissent from those recommendations?
    48        A.   The actual overall recommendations are pretty much the
    49        same.  In terms of the actual figures you will probably
    50        find some differences, particularly in relation to dietary
    51        fibre, although the actual recommendation remains the
    52        same.  There has been a big change in the way dietary fibre 
    53        is measured which leads to some differences in the figures.
    54
    55   Q.   I am content to accept that.  Then, can you pass down that
    56        page, please, to an unnumbered paragraph which begins only
    57        a few lines below: "The new" -- in italics --"total
    58        diet."   Do you see that?
    59        A.   No.  Refer me to that again?
