The author questions the validity of recent research concerning the historical study of mortality trends in England. Specifically she suggests that the available data concerning the relationship between diet and mortality in London between 1750 and 1909 are too faulty to permit the application of sophisticated statistical methods. A critique is presented of a study by Mary K. Matossian on this topic. (ANNOTATION)
