A: Wait, wait.
Q: Okay, that's why I didn't apply.
A: Page 16 I approve
Q: ok
A: Because it's those free radicals.
Q: To sum up, there are dozens.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Wait, don't interrupt, don't interrupt.
Q: To sum up.
Adv. Mr. A. Amorai: Let him finish the sentence.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Please, Mr. Shlita.
A: It's the same free radicals so I passed it on.
Q: In fact, many parts are copy-paste from the Kishon reviews?
A: Yes.
Q: OK.
A: What's appropriate I passed.

A: Of course I do.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Are you talking about the District Court's ruling?
Q: of the District Court.

Q: Ahem.

Q: And there, too.

The Courts' Rulings Regarding the Opinion of Dr. Shlita
- In the divers' lawsuit, which was heard in the Haifa District Court, the court referred to the validity and weight of Dr. Shlita's opinion – an opinion that is substantially similar to the opinion submitted in this case. Because of the importance of the matter for our purposes – since the thesis presented by the expert is essentially the same thesis – the things that were set out there will be quoted at length:
Dr. Shlita's opinion states that free radicals are naturally formed in the human body during the processes of respiration, metabolism, and during the body's processes of fighting disease. The free radicals cause oxidative damage in the body and, over time, diseases of old age. When chemical contaminants enter the human body, through the inhalation of aerosols and fumes, through the digestive tract and in contact with water or sludge with the skin, they dissolve in the mucous membranes and cause the accelerated formation of free radicals. The body creates more radicals, trying in different ways to remove the pollutants. When the concentration of contaminants increases or the exposure accumulates over time, the damage of the radicals to the cells increases, they damage the cell membranes and their components, and as a result, the balance of minerals and metabolism is disrupted, and damage is caused to the functioning of the nerves, kidneys, blood system, urinary system, and immune system. The proliferation of radicals also damages liver cells and reduces their ability to dissolve pollutants. The radicals also damage the DNA of the cells and introduce errors (mutations) in the sequence of the genetic code. The excess radicals join and work to increase damage, including mutations. The contaminants also activate pre-carcinogenic genes and genes that help cells function in stressful situations and help damaged cells evade a planned death trajectory, some of which go into cancerous mode. The immune system weakens in this process and its ability to fight infectious diseases and cancer decreases.
