Subject: Food choices & blood type?
What's your blood type?
What's your food of choice?(outside of training) Generalized
Greens & Vegs, Meats, Sea food, Dairy, grains, garbage...???
Obviously if you're human you eat all these things, but what kind of food agrees with you?
I'm AB, my wife is O, which makes my three kids either A, or B. The funny thing is we all have different dietary habbits/choices. Difficult to cook for...

Only select one blood type, then select your top 2 foods.

This might be interesting.

Cheers

Shane

The blank option below "O" is supposed to be "A".

Wow, where did you come up with this??? Seems like it could be very intresting if there is a coralation.

 

Note: I am O and I marked seafood and garbage. I should have marked grains because beer is mad from grains.

Book: "EAT RIGHT 4 YOUR BLOOD TYPE", Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo author. He has other books along the same lines. Pretty much a fad diet book, but with possible substance.

TriAya's thread about carb - protein ratio triggered this thought.

Except that the chromosomal exchange that occurs with egg & sperm creation would pretty much randomize any initial evolutionary tendancies that might have existed.

I call rubbish on this theory.

I would do the same, but I'm pretty sure the alternative medicine crowd has me on their hit list and are ready to baffle me with BS at first sight of me.

Blood grouping and evolution are pretty complex topics for these forums, and especially for calling rubbish to them. The possibility that there's substance to some of D'Adamo's work is certainly worth keep the blinders off.

Actually it's a very simple topic that people love to try to make complex.  I'll make the same request I always do when this topic comes up.  Show me how a difference in one glycoprotein on your red blood cells has anything at all to do with metabolism, digestion, etc.  Feel free to quote a physiology text book, objective research, or anything not commercial in nature.

One can keep an open mind about things while still rejecting a concept due to an absolute lack of supporting evidence.  Now, I'm going write my new book about "Hair Color and Its Role in Bowel Movements".

Given that 75% of the population is A+ I think this whole theory is a lot of crap.

Derek, your right, you can reject it. But, please note I simply started a poll to have a look at what it produced, I never tried schooling anyone on the topic. Infact I never intended this thread to open such a can of worms. I just wanted to see the figures. Meanwhile, there's this wall of resistance forming. Is this how you so Called Extreme Veteran, or Pro BTers welcome new members? You don't agree, good for you. Do you know? Not likely. Looks to me like you simply enjoy beating your chest over issues that can't be reconciled.

I distrust an article in which the author is also the one who funded the study as well as trying to sell a book about said study.

 Definitely something that grabs my attention as my degree is in dietetics and a concentration in genetics.  Still very much a skeptic, though.  Smile 

What gets me is that the research that seems to have been done concentrates more on blood type and food allergies/intolerances, not blood type and weight loss.  Taking the research and selling it as a 'diet' i.e. weight loss book makes me cringe!

I simply disagreed with the idea based on factual information and an objective look at the topic.  All the other stuff you got out of a simple post is kinda ridiculous.  Somehow my disagreeing with no editorial comment became me "beating my chest" and being unwelcoming to new members?  C'mon.

Interestingly enough, so does Charlotte Paul (winner of Ironman WA this year). She continues to eat by it. And funnily enough, she also used to work at a McDonald's and ate a lot of that!

If folks follow the plan and  get the nutrients they need, great, and bonus if they can lose some weight. Whatever works for them.
