Are You Eating Right For Your Blood Type?

Hmm, I suspect that this may be complete hokum of the fad diet variety.
Hasn't science established that peptic ulcers are due to the bacteria Helicobacter pylori?
I reserve the right to be wrong...

Cats must be having blood group O.

They can digest any animal things.

Do you think that your blood type should determine what foods you should eat?

Informative reading but it seems to me more of a guideline on what to avoid.

Thats exactly what I am taking away from this, what not to eat. The older post on Cr4 has a good spreadsheet that categorizes foods, and what is good for whom, though some found it contradictory at times, it appears to simplify things quite well:

...hm-m-m-m, sounds like Gastronomical As*trology to me.

Hi!

Interesting. I am Blood Type AB. On going through the list of foods I should avoid, I don't have to eat anything. Survive on air and water. How funny!!

You will save lot of maney...

As per A, you have to avoid animal things and as per B you can digest Milk product. So... happy milk bottle..

Sir Cliff Richard is 70 today & swears by the blood type diet, seems to work for him. I don't have the willpower for it myself.

We need not go by experience (or I would say faith) of others.

You enjoy the food, whaever you like. This enjoyment itsef will take you to 100.

I enjoy, whatever I like. Never done any medical check up and no problem of any sort... I am 58

_{Our body is so well designed that body itself will make you like what is good for body. If this blood group and the food theory is correct you will see matching between the food you like and the food as per this theory}

I agree with you on most of the points. I am 54 and going great. But there are certain areas where the adage : prevention is better than cure applies. For example, a diabetic develops an urge to take more sugar than he used to take when he hadn't developed the problem; likewise a BP patient cannot cut down his salt intake in spite of doctor's advice.

I am O+ but strictly vegi.What I should eat to consume acid, yes it is bothering me.

On the basis of the blood type distribution data, I think we can conclude the bloodtype diet and its rationale is hokum.

See blood type A for example, very common in several unrelated indigenous groups whose diet was primarily animal protein - recommended tofu??? Man, they must have been a cranky bunch until we finally got global transportation to ship exotic food.... If anything you would expect a dietary-evolution argument to say blood type B, common in Asia, is the tofu-friendly one. It looks like the 'diet' people just made up some facts fiction.

The part of my brain that remembers my blood type has gone missing. Thank goodness, I just listen to my body and eat what it says it wants...

" I just listen to my body and eat what it says it wants..."

That's what I do....... which explains the generous shape I have.
