Did humans suffer malnutrition and stunted growth near the invention of agriculture?

by jonjonmackey82

I've heard that when humans first began growing crops en masse they suffered malnutrition diseases and stunted growth/bad teeth. Is this true?

It sorta seems to make sense from an armchair. Switching from a diverse hunter gatherer diet to mostly wheat or rice or whatever would probably have consequences.

What do you think?
