  1. Rennert confirmed that exposure to asbestos and smoking are causes of cancer, and he was therefore asked later: "... How can you come and tell me that asbestos is, smoking does, but certain carcinogens like wok, like benzene, formaldehyde, all of these don't cause cancer?His answer:

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   No, no, wait, Izzy.  You put words in my mouth that I didn't say.  Okay? Asbestos has been proven in a certain context, let's say vision cancer.  Smoking has been shown in the context of about 10 different tumors, but not 11 tumors.  Vox at the moment there is no serious evidence.  Benzene is a known and obvious carcinogen, but it does leukemia.  He's doing something else.  Okay? In other words, any substance requires proof according to clear and measured rules regarding a particular disease

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         Yes.  And what material is not?

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   There is no global carcinogen

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         Yes

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   Even smoking, which is the most global I can think of, is still only responsible for about 30 percent of crops

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         What carcinogenic substance must be emitted by the factories that causes lung cancer?

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   The only proven one is Pi M 2.5.
