I thought this article was rather interesting. Do you think it's true? Has anyone read the book? Thoughts?

although i only read the article, and not the book, it sounds very familiar to what traditional eastern medicine preaches.

traditional doctors here in korea also believe that blood type determines your personality as well.

i take the personality aspect with a grain of salt...or actually, no salt, because my blood type is AB....but following my Han i wan's directions on nutrition has improved my energy level and sleep pattern.

no...your inability to get off your lazy butt and push away from the table is causing you to get fat....

your slurping down sodas and eating fast food is causing you to get fat...

your consistently wrong choices of lifestyle are causing you to get fat....

your constant whining that it's "my genes" is causing you to get fat...

so, no...it's not your blood per se....

P.S. "You" is not directed to you, Harpeau...only to those concerned Very Happy

Funplanet,
i couldn't agree more.

People always looking for excuses for their obesity.
Now, i can blame my blood type.

Just get off your lazy bum

I tend to think that most people who get fat, get fat from the fast food, lazy lifestyle, etc.

But I do think there are some people who might get fat more easily than other because of genes or other causes.

Personally, I would be getting a lot fatter if I could get my hands on all the Italian food from back home.

Here's an article by a doctor who knows what he's talking about and has more credibility than D'Adamo.

On second thought, maybe one's blood type isn't such a big deal after all.

Blood type: Another Korean superstition to go along with every xenophopic trick they tend to pull out of the hat in order to justify the Han Master Race; which is the one so much more evolved than the others on this planet that random spitting, puking, pushing, shoving, and general disregard for anyone not of one's immediate clan is regarded as the highest form of humanity; then I'm more than pleased to be, because I do none of these things, some kind of barbarian. I pity them all; I really do.
