Oh, one more side note. I suspect that NONE of the shows duplicated the period diets correctly - the quanity of alcohol consumption in most periods was probably considerably HIGHER than they allowed on the shows, to say the least. Lots of calories in the beer etc that was missing I'm sure.
And none of the folks were on those diets long enough on the shows to really get the full nutritional problem effects they would have had (like say Scurvy) if on them long enough as presented.
