so basically the Blood Type Diet states that according to your blood type, you should be eating certain foods to promote optimal functioning. you could read all about the chemistry and further evidence and criticisms from here and wiki ... talks mostly of the proteins associated with blood typing, etc. remember to be open to new things, but always be critical!
QUOTE
Type A: should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat).
They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune system,
and should not consume dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are at
a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
Type B: should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, dairy, meat,
but avoid chicken). They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming
everyday types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Type AB: should consume a mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare occasions some
fish, meat (no chicken), and dairy.
Type O: should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat), low carbs, and
enriched with fruits and vegetables. They should limit the intake of wheat germ,
whole wheat products, corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts.
Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid
(leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting.
