My common sense tells me the theory doesn't make sense. Throughout history, people have have eaten what the eat based on culture and what was available where they lived, not their blood type. Here are some excerpts from an article on Web MD: "I know of no plausible rationale behind the diet," says John Foreyt, PhD, a researcher at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "Within the diet itself are generally good diet recommendations," says David W. Grotto, RD, LD, a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. "D'Adamo doesn't say avoid vegetables and fruit, for example -- but his specific recommendations based on blood type -- the science is not there to support it. I'm not aware that anyone has duplicated his research." " Dieting is one of those things people feel desperate about. ... The blood-type diet sounds more scientific [than some others]." But it's the very lack of a solid scientific background that rankles most experts. "If this diet wasn't coming from the whole blood-type approach, I could recommend this," says Grotto, "but the philosophy of blood type is very obscure and lacking in science."

Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book Eat to Live has a section shredding this diet. If you have any thought that your blood type is a guide to eating, this is a wake-up call. All species have clear genetic differences among individuals. Yet, do some rabbits eat plants while others eat fish? Do some cougars eat deer while others eat grass? Do some seals eat fish while others eat seaweed? The idea is silly. Within any one species, all individuals will thrive on pretty much the same diet. Humans are not any different. All humans, regardless of blood type, can thrive on a whole-foods plant-based diet. www
