blood type diet

May 17, 1999

Caroline,

There are overlaps in all the blood types, so there are things both

(eg., an A and O) types could have together. And a biologically tied

family would usually consist of two types (the children would be be

either A or O). D'Adamo's recent book " Cook Right for Your Type "

includes more recipes than the " Eat Right " (which has some) and

categorizes the recipes according to what blood types can eat it/and

alterations according to blood type. As I noted before, D'Adamo has a

website:

http://www.dadamo.com/

Another webpage dedicated to ER4YT is:

I'm in that situation -- I'm type O, my husband is type A. We cope with

it in one of two ways: either we each cook for ourselves, or we cook a dish

" in pieces " . For example, we'll stirfry some veggies and rice, which both

of us can eat. Then I'll stirfry some chicken, and he'll stirfry some tofu,

and we each add our protein source to the veggies and rice.

It means a little more time spent in the kitchen, but the health benefits

that eating this way have brought both of us are well worth it.

Today Dr. Weil speaks his opinion on the whole blood type thing.

Ironically enough....! Go to his site: http://cgi.pathfinder.com/drweil/

If anyone wants me to cut and paste it here, I'll do so.

Angie,

I understand that Peter D'Adamo hasn't the medical tests to back him

up. I just have heard so many people who have had good results from

changing their diet according to their blood type. Like many

" alternative " methods/theories, proving them require $$$ and time.

Scientists would call the claims of users " anecdotal " . OK...that's

true, but if it helps you, who cares...

Michelle

P.S.

My impression of Dr. Weil is he's great for the general consumer who is

considering " alternative " / holistic health for the 1st time but I find

him rather conservative in his opinions.

Dear Robyn:

This information was terrific. I thankyou very much for it!! I've had

the meat vs vagen controversy myself and you shed alot of light on the

subject for me. I just recently got into my store, a product line of

Vitamins/mineral supplements, herb blends, and power bars, that are

specifically formulated to the book " Eat Right 4 Your Type " . The power bars

just came in today and are quite good. The A type bar has Holy Basil in it,

which is hard to find, and great for A types. I'm looking foward to trying

the whole line and will let you know how it works.

Thanks.

love,

connie

I think that diets should vary according to individuals certainly...

(different likes and dislikes, etc), BUT despite differences in personality

and even blood type... the basic human body is engineered the same. The way

that the body is designed, we were not meant to digest meat or animal

derived protein. Vegan literature gives a powerful argument on this (if

anyone is interested, I highly recommend reading the book " Why Vegan? " Its

a paperback book... runs about £6.99).

Meat and dairy form mucus within the body and take longer to digest than

fruits, vegetables, and plant-based sources of protein. This mucosal

coating of the intestines as well as longer digestion times lead to many

health problems down the road.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents to the discussion. =)

With all due respect to your sources, humans are omnivores. This can be

demonstrated by dentition and GI tract design.

Look into your mouth and you can see the multi-use toolkit for masticating

anything that can't get away from us. Look at the GI tract and ponder the

question, " If we were meant to eat only vegitation, then why did the

vesitgal ruminating stomach that the appendix represents become useless?

That doesn't mean that we can't live that way if we choose. But, we should

accept that we're modifying our personal organisms. Consider this: If you

have to take suppliments to support a diet because it's missing nutrients,

then you're not eating a " natural " diet. If it was unavailable to humans at

approximately the dawn of agriculture, then it's not part of what we were

designed for. Actually, I think I can make a good case that the 80% of

people who do have emzymes that allow them to digest suggests that we

co-evolved with dairy animals to a greater extent than I had previously

assumed.

I think the problem with meat is that it's too easy to get. Animal protein

only made up a small portion of human diets because it's difficult and/or

dangerous to obtain. Besides, chowing on a big Mammoth steak doesn't do you

nearly so much harm if getting it takes 2-3 days of dangerous, difficult

work as opposed to picking a cellephane package up from the counter.

Great letter Ray.

Can you follow this up with what you believe is the OPTIMUM human

Yes, Tracy, I agree with some of what he says as well, and I too am a type

O. I felt as you did, some misgivings, but then most of the stuff on the

avoid list for me I already knew about (I have lactose and wheat

intolerance, so no wheat or dairy for me) so I think there is something to

it. He also doesn't really recommend a high protein diet for anyone, in the

same way Atkins and friends do. The meat portions are very small and really

the most highly recommended things are . . . leafy greens! So it becomes a

very balanced diet. I think it is about having a small amount of protein

with each meal for the type O's, and I certainly don't have the amount of

red meat he recommends, especially with my endometriosis (which btw is

killing me this cycle b/c of all the holiday eating -- red meat and

alcohol -- ouch!). And some of the stuff on the avoid list can be eaten if

you understand why you are supposed to avoid it. For instance, avocados are

an avoid for me, but I couldn't live without them! It is mostly b/c they

are high in vitamin E which is not great for type O thin blood. So be sure

to balance it with enough leafy greens and other foods high in vitamin K for

clotting and you can eat avocados again!

OK, that's my 2 cents!

hehe. For me, " balance " is very different. Meat & fish are a very

big part of my diet. Mainly lamb these days, but it used to be beef (when

I had better teeth). I think people with weak dispositions have to be very

careful of what they eat, but people with strong dispositions can be more

experimental, so long as they give the body a good range of foods & avoid an

excess of carbos, avoid fried foods & all bad fats.
