Dr. Shlita was even referred to the chapter "Conclusions" in the aforementioned article and was asked:
Q: Please confirm to me that what they are saying here explicitly is that their conclusion is There are information gaps regarding the possibility of oxidative stress..
A: Yes.
Q: Plays a role in the development of diseases in babies.
A: There is a gap, a knowledge gap here, okay, than.
Q: Gap, confirm.
A: Approve. They say more studies are needed.
Q: More research is needed.
A: They don't say no.
Q: That's right. They don't say no.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: That's what he wants to tell you.
Q: The problem is that they don't say yes.
(pp. 163-165).
- Regarding the fifth article [see Exhibit M/9], entitled "Free Radicals and Antioxidants Oxidative Stress in Cadmium Exposure Workers", the expert confirmed that "... I also told you earlier, that Keddium does not have with it, it does not have a large addition of radicals, and its damage is in other mechanisms..... No, no, I never said that cadmium is harmful with radicals... Here with radicals, there is none" (p. 166).
- In connection with the sixth article [see Exhibit 40/10], which was mentioned in his supplementary opinion entitled:
"early identification of risk for free radical related diseases in preter newborns"
In his interrogation, the expert noted, inter alia, that:
Q: Ok. And confirm to me that it is also said there in the same abstract that at the cellular level, oxidative stress created by cadmium can lead to either oxidative damage or the activation of defense mechanisms against oxidative damage, and that it is the balance between them that is important as to the pathological consequences that can be caused.
A: Agree with this.
Q: I agree with that. So not every exposure to cadmium will cause oxidative stress that leads to diseaseRight?
A: Very true.
Q: Nor will any exposure to any other metal cause oxidative stress that leads to disease, right??
