     1        readily and comprehensively by consumption of a diet rich
     2        in foods of plant origin and to ensure a comprehensive
     3        effect for all relevant diseases, a generous variety of
     4        products ought to be used."
     5
     6        This whole report, you stand by it, do you?
     7        A.  Yes.
     8
     9   Q.   Right.  I just wanted to look at Dr. Arnott's statement for
    10        some comments.  I do not know where it would be exactly.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is in yellow 5.  Do you mean his most
    13        recent one or his original one?
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  His most recent one, please.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL: It should be right at the back but,
    18        unfortunately, I have got it in another bundle.  Is there a
    19        divider 12 right at the very back there of that bundle?
    20
    MR. MORRIS:  We will need the reference of the two references
    22        that Dr. Arnott referred to.  I do not know if they are
    23        behind his statement.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are in Professor Naismith's bundle,
    26        which is a separate bundle I think.
    27
    28   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    29
    30   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, in the witness bundle they are behind Dr.
    31        Arnott's latest report.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Do you have the Dr. Arnott statement in front of
    34        you, yes?
    35        A.  Yes if that is the one that is referred to by Medical
    36        Report Diet and Cancer.
    37
    38   Q.   Yes, that is correct.
    39        A.  Right.
    40
    Q.   Have you had a chance to read this?
    42        A.  Yes, I did see this.
    43
    44   Q.   Just a couple of brief questions.  On the bottom of page 3,
    45        Dr. Arnott refers to "cohort studies".  Do you have any
    46        views about "cohort studies" in the field of the links
    47        between diet and cancer?
    48        A.  Yes.  There are, as you may know, different kinds of
    49        studies and this word "cohort" incidentally unfortunately
    50        is rather used generally at times and not altogether 
    51        consistently between different investigators.  But if he 
    52        means here by this, and I think he does, I am sorry, just a 
    53        second here, I need to ----
    54
    55   Q.   That actual reference is not in his report.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It should be behind it. Behind there you
    58        should find two articles or studies:  One is in the New
    59        England Journal of Medicine, and that is the one that Dr.
    60        Arnott is referring to at the bottom of page 3.  It is by,
