     1   MR. MORRIS:  The plaintiffs have suggested that it go in bundle
     2        IV, tab 12, Nutrition, but, presumably, it has not been
     3        put in yet.
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have mine at the back of the orange
     6        bundle IIIA.  That is tab 12.  Those are Professor
     7        Wheelock's references.
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  If I just read it out.  I do not think -- it has
    10        been read out in detail before and I do not think it will
    11        be a problem, but ----.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  It will be a problem if Mr. Morris is going to be
    14        selective.  That is the trouble.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I have at tab 12 is an article by
    17        Sanders and Reddy.  It has on it a post-it in someone
    18        else's handwriting, "Volume IIIA, tab 12".  So I was
    19        obviously told to put it there. (Handed).  Perhaps I could
    20        be provided with a copy in due course.  There is no reason
    21        why Mr. Morris should not go ahead or be told where ----.
    22
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  Your Lordship may well find it in a kingfisher
    24        coloured bundle.  It is defendants' supplementary list of
    25        documents, bundle IV.  It is one of the thinner of the
    26        files.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.
    29
    30   MR. RAMPTON:  It is tab 12.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I only go to tab 11.  What I suggest is that
    33        Mr. Morris carries on.  If I can be given a copy in due
    34        course I will make it tab 12.  You carry on, Mr. Morris.
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  Dr. Arnott, you have a copy?
    37        A.  Yes, I do.  Thank you.

    39   Q.   On the first page, on the right-hand side, the third
    40        paragraph down, it starts, "First, there has been
    41        enormous" -- sorry, this is by Verner Wheelock, one of
    42        McDonald's expert witnesses on nutrition.
    43        A.  Right.
    44
    45   Q.   Including health matters:  "First, there has been enormous
    46        success in the industrialized world in controlling
    47        infectious diseases as the major causes of death and
    48        disability.  As a consequence, the predominant diseases
    49        now are degenerative, such as heart disease and certain
    50        cancers. 
    51 
    52        Second, research has established the causes of these 
    53        diseases and now there is convincing evidence that diet is
    54        a key factor in their development."
    55
    56        When it says "certain cancers" in the first paragraph,
    57        which ones do you think he may be likely to mean?
    58        A.  Well, I would have thought lung cancer has to be one
    59        of the most important.  It is the single largest cause of
    60        cancer deaths in the United Kingdom each year.
