Want to get your feedback on this. A good friend and doctor are both very much into this way of eating. It suggests that certain blood types do well by eating certain foods and avoiding other things. I myself am a bit skeptical, but am open to the possibility. Might give it a shot for one month. What do you all think?

Thanks in advance for your input.

BTW, here is the website:

You're not Korean. Eat according to your star sign.

My father is type A and I'm type O and we've loved pretty much the same foods.

I have had maybe two stomachaches in the last quarter century.

I have read up on blood type diets and it's based on hogwash science, which anyone who googles it can find out in seconds.

It sounds pretty stupid to me.

The good doctor in charge of the website you linked to is a doctor of naturopathic medicine, with is just another way of saying he doesn't want to do research to back up his claims.

They aren't immune to quackery (although generally more resistant). Ask him to rifle through his medical journals to find some studies on it.

Anyone that knows middle-school level science could tell you why this idea is idiotic, therefore you could make a LOT of money in Korea making crap food and drink for "special" blood types.

I had a medical doctor tell me fan death is real, so this doesn't sway me any more.

To a degree is true but most of it is BS. For example milk tolerance, I have none but most dutch people have no problem with it. I have no problems with protein intake but some races of people have a harder time with proteins. I think it depends more on your race then anything else.

My mom owns a health food store back in the States. Although I have no personal experience with the diet I did meet some of the customers who swore by it. All I really know about it is if you want any benefits from the diet you must be committed to it for the long haul.
I also suggest asking somewhere other than Dave's about this or any other questions you may have these days.
