wow lots of great chat about this Blood Type Diet.
I am not for or against it, just at this point it does make sense to me.
So far I've read that the author is a 2nd generation naturopathic doctor whose father noticed that some of his patients thrived on certain diets, while others did not, and they were eating the same food. What was the difference? They believe it was blood type.
Another thing I found interesting is the orgins of our bloods. THey believe 0 to be the oldest blood type known. A evolved around the time we became gatherers and more domesticated. B came about when the races migrated to Europe in colder climate. AB evolved with the intermingling of the groups.
Again I am not saying this is the truth but I find the concept very interesting.
Dogs for example have all the same blood type. Humans do not, maybe there is something to this. It may be why I for example can thrive on Vegetarian diet and others cannot.
So far that is what I've read. I think they are saying hey, eat whatever you want, but if you are going to eat fruit, why not eat fruit that your body is designed to produce the right amount of enzymes for?
Anyway that is how far I am in this book. THanks for all the input I think I am interested in avoiding the foods they suggest and see how I feel!
