New on list - mary

[Guest guest]

hi mary and welcome!

i agree with what others have told you....doctors, in

general don't know much about nutrition...even

chiropractors (although they are prolly more

knowledgeable than conventional drs.).

 

i have a degree in anthropology and i can appreciate

the theory about eating certain foods based on the

evolution of bloodtypes. d'adamo (one of the main

proponents of the bloodtype diet and author of several

books on the subject) is actually a vegetarian.

anyway, the idea that blood type o is the oldest

bloodtype and that it originated in ancient

hunter-gatherers is interesting, but it fails to

mention that those ancient peoples subsided mainly on

foods (roots, seeds, nuts, berries, etc....) that were

gathered. meat wasn't eaten everyday in most cases.

there are big differences between modern humans and

ancient people.....we have more food options, food is

more readily available,and we have more sources of

protein.....we have choices.

 

i'm type o negative and grains don't seem to bother

me. i have found that i feel better when i avoid

diary products and sugar. you know your body better

than any doctor.....do what makes you feel best.

 

glad to have you here,

susie
