effect that that, in our diet to the various parts of our body which was described. ‘ You’re not doctors and yet you have approached this subject. ~: Bair: Yes, Dr. Bair. I am a scientist. radionuclides I am not a physician. I have studied in experimental animals for 30 years, so I feel that I do know what happens when radioactive elements are taken into the body and the effects that can result from that. Bair: One other thing. lie know in comparing our studies with what information is available about human beings, that animals and human beings are the same. The information we have from animal experiments can be applied to human beings. Marshallese: Yes. I think I understand. Thank you for your reply and I understand in this way that by being a scientist and studying animals, you are able to, then, also understand how certain things affect human beings because animals react very similarly to human beings in this respect. (and) So I am just assuming like youmay have a rabbit in your laboratory and you may feed this rabbit and observe it, then, and by determining that when you find out that the rabbit gets something, for instance becomes diabetic, then you can assume that there was a relationship between what it was eating and it having that disease. (and) Then you say because of that information you can also apply this to people. Is that accurate, is that what you are saying your study of field of expertise is? Bair: That is accurate, although I would like to mention that in none of our experiments have we seen diabetes caused by radioactivity. Q: I’d like to make one additional point on that subject. In addition to doing these predictions, when we use the diet that we assume, and then from that conclude that a certain amount of radioactive material will be taken into the body and stay there, thus, there to cause radiation of the 23
