研究了1750–1850年间英法两国气候和饮食变化可能降低霉菌中毒发生率，从而刺激生育率、降低死亡率，对经济史和人口学者有参考价值。
Climatic and dietary changes may have reduced the incidence of mold poisoning in England and France, 1750–1850, thereby stimulating fertility and reducing mortality. Because mold poisons developed in cereals, the staff of life was often the scepter of death. When people ate less rye and more wheat or less wheat and more potatoes, even without increasing their caloric intake or improving their nutrient balance, their chances of survival improved.
