Please people tell me what you think???
I've read a lot about blood type diets, both pro and con. I'm
convinced there's SOME relation between blood type and diet, but not
nearly a strong a relationship as D'Adamo and others suggest. My
impression is that there's more validity/reliability to the AVOID
foods than to the recommended foods. Also, these diets are NOT exactly
what our ancestors ate.
O Types: Can eat meat, fish, most vegetables and most fruit.
So can people of all blood types, though some other blood types have
problems w/red meat (whichI think is best avoided by almost all cancer
patients).
They should avoid wheat. Starchy vegetables such as corn, dairy food
and oranges.
OFTEN (not always) true.
A Types: Can eat vegetables, tofu and soy products.
I don't think nonfermented soy's healthy for anyone, in general.
They should avoid meat.
Wrong, though ON AVERAGE they probably do best w/less than type Os.
Dairy food, most beans and legumes and wheat.
That's a huge overstatement, except perhaps the wheat.
B Types: Can eat red meat, seafood, grains, beans, most legumes,
most vegetables and most fruit.
So can most people of all blood types
They should avoid chicken, starchy vegetables like corn, lentils,
peanuts, sesame products and wheat.
TENDS to be accurate, particularly true for corn and wheat. I don't
recommend peanuts for anyone.
I was told by a knowledgeable practitioner that these are the biggest
problem foods:
Blood Type O's should beware of grains (especially nonsprouted wheat &
gluten [rye & oats]), corn, cauliflower, kidney & navy beans,
white/red potatoes, peanuts, oranges, & dairy
Type A's should beware of red meat, pork, wheat, banana, oranges,
mango, tomato, & papaya.
Type B's should beware of pork, chicken, tomato, peanuts, shellfish,
corn, olives, wheat, sunflower & sesame seeds.
But there are many exceptions to all the above.
There are many more factors that deterimne the optimal diet for an
individual that are more dominant than blood type.

months), see www.drkelley.com/CANLIVER55.html

Note: As of 9/03, Dr. Kelley reportedly uses a "Type 4" (moderately
sympathetic-dominant-based [mostly vegetarian]) diet w/all cancer
patients even parasympathetics as long as they have [significant]
cancer/tumor. Parasympathetics are allowed some fish, organic eggs and
goat yogurt).
