     1        figure, which is the sort of figure that the National
     2        Advisory Council on Nutritional Education in the United
     3        Kingdom advised some time ago as being the long term goal,
     4        I think that is not a cautious figure; I think that is a
     5        sensible figure.  I think 35 per cent is a cautious
     6        figure.  But I think that once you achieve that level of
     7        removing one of the risk factors which we know about, you
     8        then need to start thinking about the other aspects of the
     9        diet that are important in preventative measures.
    10
    11        We have already discussed the n-3 fatty acids as being
    12        important preventatively and also are protective both with
    13        heart and cancer.  I think the same applies to the
    14        recommendation that is in the Scottish Report and
    15        elsewhere, that people should be eating more fresh fruit
    16        and vegetables to improve their intake of the vitamins
    17        associated with that aspect of the food chain.

    19   MR. MORRIS:  I want to refer you to the World Health
    20        Organisation Report 1990 which has been referred to quite
    21        a lot in this court.  I am not sure where you get a copy
    22        for yourselves.  I have actually copied the rest of that
    23        report and served it on the Plaintiffs.  I am not sure if
    24        that should have been in the material also for yourself?
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Was that with Mr. Cannon's documentation?
    27
    28   MS. STEEL:   Was it not put behind Mr. Arnott's ----
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, I think it was added to Mr. Arnott's
    31        references.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have it as reference 26 in orange
    34        file, part 2 of orange file IV which is at the back of
    35        Dr. Arnott's references.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So this is a different one to the World
    38        Health Authority Report we have already large extracts
    39        from, is it?
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  The one I have just handed up to you is the rest
    42        of that report, so we now have the complete report which
    43        arrived in dribs and drabs, but now has to be slotted in
    44        with the rest.  I apologise for not knowing which
    45        sections.  Page 109 I was going to refer to.  Maybe I can
    46        read it out to save the witness having to -----
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have something which starts like this, and
    49        yesterday I fed into it pages which Mr. Cannon brought.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  You now have the rest of the complete 
    52        report. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So these are just the additional pages to
    55        make the report complete, are they?
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    58
    59   MR. RAMPTON:  I wonder, my Lord, if could I have a complete
    60        copy?
