Rebecca,
 
I'm interested in evidence you find for disease and malnutrition of the Maya.
 I'm looking at Mayan diet through the record of food remains in human tooth
tartar.  Still in progress and this will be only part of the story.  I'll
post more to the net in a few months when we get farther with the
interpretations.  In the meantime, I'd like to initiate an exchange of
information off the net.  Somehow I missed your original post.  Please e-mail
me.
