     1        I can describe it for you.  Turn, please, towards the
              back, though not quite at the back.
     2
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are not suggesting (or maybe you are)
     3        that you do not get iron and vitamin B12 from non-meat
              foods?
     4        A.  Well, it can actually be quite difficult on a
              vegetarian diet to get an adequate supply of iron.  There
     5        are actually documented cases of young girls in this
              country who are following a vegetarian type diet who are
     6        suffering from anaemia because they do not have enough
              iron in their diet.
     7
         MS. STEEL:   That study was mentioned in Professor Wheelock's
     8        statement.  We asked for the name of that study but it was
              not given.
     9
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you give it now?
    10
         MS. STEEL:   If any reliance is placed on that, I would like
         that to be disclosed.
              A.  To the best of my recollection, that was supplied.
    12
         MR. RAMPTON:  Do you remember the name of it?
    13        A.  Not offhand, to be quite honest.  I think it was by a
              research team in Kings College, London.
    14
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is there somewhere you can find it fairly
    15        readily?
              A.  I do not think there is, to be quite honest.
    16
         MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, it is not in the bundle.
    17        A.  I know there was a series of questions put to me and
              that was one of the questions and I replied and I provided
    18        the information.
 
    19   Q.   No criticism is made of you, Professor Wheelock.  It is
              only a question of finding it.  It may be it is in my
    20        room, maybe at Barlow Lyde & Gilbert.  Anyway, we will
              have a look for it.  Can you turn to the page in the
         document called "Leaner"?  It is towards the back.
              A.  Yes.
    22
         Q.   All I need you to do is turn over the next page where one
    23        sees a similar sort of table?
              A.  Yes.
    24
         Q.   One sees that in the bottom line of the first section,
    25        sodium, the quantities of sodium described as being
              contained in the McDLT and the Quarter Pounder with cheese 
    26        are very considerably greater than those shown in the 
              sodium advertisement, are they not?  We could go back to 
    27        it.
              A.  Well, from memory, yes, there is a couple there that
    28        are over a thousand milligrams per product.
 
    29   Q.   I draw that to your attention in passing.  The question
              I have about this table (and others like it in this set of
    30        documents advertisements) is this:  For that time, 1987,
              do you regard this sort of nutritional information or
