blood types and Peter D'Adamo: where most MD's stand

March 9, 2002

For what it's worth, conventional medicine seems to think that Peter D'Adamo is

wrong.

Re: blood types

Quote from 'The Food Revolution' by John Robbins:

.... " according to Tufts University Health and Nutrition

Letter, D'Adamo has his blood typing all wrong. 'It's

a fallacy even to speak of 'original' type O's or

'original' type A's because blood types did not

originate with humans,' explains Dr. Stephan DAiley, a

nutritional anthropologist at Tufts Univerdsity.

'They came on the biologic scene long before humans

did. Furthermore, there is no anthropologic evidence

whatsoever that all prehistoric people with particular

blood type at the same diet.' "

end quote

I suggest anyone interested in 'Eat Right for Your

Type' to read pages 74 - 80 of 'The Food Revolution'

as well as doing their own research. I am definitely

no fan of 'conventional medicine', but there is just

as much in 'alternative medicine' that needs to be

questioned before taking it in.

My two cents,

Linda
