Thompson:
The document should stop at dose assessment,
i.e., it should not make
comparisons with guidelines.

It turns out
that adult females eat more than adult males (according to the diet
survey).
Hence, the female diet rather than the male diet is limiting.
Based on casual observation
by LLL scientists,
it is reasonable to
believe that Enewetak females eat more than males (they are fatter and
get less exercise).
The gram intakes estimated
from the diet survey
seem reasonable.
