Hiya guys this didnt realy help me :/ but its a great article all the same! its such an eye opener. How did those poor people survive on such a diet. It goes against just about everything we suggest as a healthy diet today. There must be something in the combination, or perhaps their nutrition came from their own home grown vegetables (those who were lucky enough to be given a plot of land and time to grow these). I suppose the early age of death testifies somewhat to their diet, however bad treatment by their “owners” probably contributed mainly to their death age, your website rocks, good articles like this are hard to find, its helps people alot on eassays about slavedry and my the people rest in paradise im not a copycat
