Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 hi chrysta, welcome to the group. you might want to check out a book by dr. peter d'adamo called 'eat right for your type'. he believes (based on his scientific and anthropological research)there is a connection between blood type and food. he states that type o blood is the oldest blood type that goes all the way back to human ancestors that were hunters and gatherers and thrived on meat/protein. when they hunted many animals to extinction, many populations had to start growing crops and domesticating animals for food. their blood type evolved into type a. later on some groups became pastorial and nomadic (sheep herders) and over time, their blood type changed to type b. type ab blood is the most recent type and is believed to come from the mixing of peoples with type a blood and ones with type b blood. so....based on that, d'adamo (and many others) postulate that: type o's do well with meat and protein type a's do well with a vegetarian diet type b's do well with meat and dairy and type ab's do well with meat, dairy, grains and veggies. this is a really really basic overview of d'adamo's book...there's a lot more to it. and of coarse all of that can be debated. i found the book to be interesting, but i'm just a dork with an anthropology degree. susie --- chrysta brooks <absolutesurrender wrote: > > I'm a new member & I'm just writing to say hi !!! > > My name is Chrysta.
