What is our natural diet?

[Guest guest]

Should you eat according to your blood type?

 

Dear Raw Food Group Member,

 

Here's an article I think you'll find quite

Valuable.

 

*~*~*~*

 

If I could give one resource to family or

friends who want to improve their health, it

would be volume 2, issue number 3, of Just Eat an

Apple, raw food magazine. This issue is jam

packed with information showing you how to do an

Optimal Raw Food Diet.

 

You can get your own copies to share with family

members and friends from this link.

You also will get three other great issues of

Just East an Apple, plus Frederic Patenaude's

books " Raw Secrets, " " Raw Soups, Salads, and

Smoothies, " and 36 Tips to Succeed on a Raw Food

or Vegan Diet. "

 

*~*~*~*

 

A few years ago I got this very special issue of

Just Eat an Apple Magazine. I loved just about

every article in it. It is the perfect guide to

show new people how to eat the raw diet

correctly. It teaches what I call, The Optimal

Raw Food Diet.

 

This issue also discusses, in a logical manner,

some controversial issues in the raw food and

holistic healing community. One article I liked

very much was, " A New Look at Colon

Hydrotherapy. " by Loren Lockman. In the article,

Loren discusses why he doesn't use colonics and

what he believes happens to you, when you get a

colonic.

 

Another controversial article was " The Blood

Type Diet on Trial, " compiled by Frederic

Patenaude. I'm going to be reviewing that

article, further down the page and also giving

you similar information about that diet, that I

found in Dr. Fuhrman's book, " Eat to Live. "

 

There's also a fantastic article on deficiencies

by Albert Mosseri. Dr. Douglas Graham writes a

myth busting article, " What You Should Know about

Raw Fat. " " Is One Man's Food, Another Man's

Poison? " by Albert Mosseri.

 

Then there's another great article called,

" Supplements, Should You or Shouldn't You, " by

Mary Ziolo and there is, " What is our Natural

Diet? " by Dover Clifton.

 

I think of this issue more as a great book,

rather than a magazine. It will show you how to

eat raw in the easiest and most healthy way I

know of. The articles are as valid today as when

they were written.

 

*~*~*~*

 

Should you eat according to your blood type?

 

I find it interesting that we are the only

species on the planet that has to eat according

to their blood type. At least that is what Peter

D'Adamo would have you believe in his book, " Eat

Right for Your Type. "

 

If you had to follow that diet and you were a

Type O blood type you would be forced to eat

meat, to have great health according to D'Adamo.

I've found several people, who are Type O blood

types who are successful, long-term, vegan, raw

foodists.

 

If I followed Ayurveda's recommendations, I'd

still be eating cooked foods to this day. As I am

a Vata body type and they supposedly need hot

foods to thrive. I've found most of these body

type diet books and systems, simply don't apply

to someone who has gone 100% raw.

 

Are there any vegetarian lions, or meat eating

rabbits? All the animals in a species will eat

the same types of foods in the wild. There is

some variation, but meat eaters don't become

vegetarians. Omnivores continue to eat a variety

of foods; they don't all of a sudden, start

eating vegetables only.

 

Humans are frugivorous by design. This means our

natural diet is predominantly fruit, but not

exclusively. We also do well with easily digested

vegetables. Some nuts and seeds are ok in small

quantities.

 

We are clever enough to eat other kinds of foods

and we can survive on them. But do we thrive

while eating meat or cooked foods? I think you

know the answer to that. I certainly think these

are less than ideal foods.

 

A very interesting point in Frederic's article

is that chimpanzees and gorillas also have the

A,B,O blood types and that there is DNA evidence

that humans have had these different blood types

for 5 million years.

 

D'Adamo claims that certain blood types evolved

with the introduction of agriculture 10,000 years

ago. His evidence for this is severely lacking.

 

He also seems to favor the Type O or meat eating

blood type people. Here's an interesting quote

that Frederic attributes to Dr. Michael Klapper

in his discussion of the problems with the blood

type diet, " ...the epitome of focus, drive...

" hardy and strong, fueled by a high protein diet "

(is he describing a Type O " master race " ?), he

paints the " more vegetarian " Type A as submissive

tofu eaters, " biologically predisposed to heart

disease, cancer and diabetes. " (p. 97).

 

" He paints Type A's with personalities

" ...poorly suited for the intense, high-pressured

leadership positions at which Type 0's excel. "

(p. 142), stating that, in pressure situations,

people with Type A blood " tend to unravel " and

" become anxious and paranoid, taking everything

personally. "

 

Another great point in the article is the

discussion of Dr. Klapper of why some people seem

to fail at eating a vegan diet and how to

properly handle that situation. The insights are

incredible. The same theory I believe applies to

raw foodists. Some people simply need a longer

transition time to allow their body to get used

to handling different nutrients.

 

If you are a Type A blood type D'Adamo claims

that drinking coffee and red wine is good for

you. That is clearly, very dangerous and bad

advice as these are toxic to all humans.

 

His recommendations on what types of fruit

certain blood types are allowed to eat aren't

backed up by any science. It appears that much of

his information was simply made up.

 

Dr. Fuhrman came to a similar conclusion in his

book, 'Eat to live. " Here is a quote,

 

" I tried hard to be fair to D'Adamo because I

know there is some evidence in the scientific

literature that genetics and even blood type can

predispose one to certain illnesses, such as

heart attacks and some cancers, but his claims

are so ridiculous that it leaves me with no

choice but to be amazed that he could actually

make such mind-boggling claims without supporting

documentation or scientific studies. Furthermore,

in reviewing the references mentioned in this

book, he did not include even a small fraction of

the hundreds of studies performed on this subject

by scientists in the past thirty years. All the

major studies I found documenting the

relationship between blood type and disease were

surprisingly missing. "

 

Here's another quote from " Eat to Live. "

" D'Adamo's book mixes some interesting factual

information about blood types with a whole lot of

far-fetched assertions that have no basis in

fact. Most of them are just plain wrong. "

 

Finally, a quote from Dr. Fuhrman in regards to

the risk of getting heart disease and cancer and

what blood type has to do with it.

 

" When considering all the genetic risk factors

together, we must conclude that environmental

influences on atherosclerosis are much stronger

than the genetic ones. Even if we combined all

the genetic influences and stratified the risk of

heart disease or cancer in individuals in a more

accurate way than blood type alone, we would

still find that environmental factors are more

important. Cholesterol levels, body-weight,

smoking, physical activity, food choices, and

blood pressure have been shown to have a much

stronger influence on disease risk than blood

grouping. "

 

There is much more supporting information in

this article and in Dr. Fuhrman's book. I hope I

have at least made you aware that " Eat for Your

Blood Type Diet, " isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of

this great issue of Just Eat an Apple and share

it with your friends and family members. You can

get this issue, plus three other issues, " Raw

Soups, Salads and Smoothies and the book " Raw

Secrets, " by Frederic Patenaude.

 

Frederic's book " Raw Secrets, " is the main part

of this package that you get. It is just about

the only raw book I know of, that tells you how

to do an Optimal Raw Food Diet. It's a great book

and it shows you many of the pitfalls that a

beginning raw foodist runs into and how to avoid

them. I highly recommend this book and all the

bonuses he's included with it.

 

Please remember to share that Just Eat an Apple

issue and " Raw Secrets " with friends and family

members. It can change their lives and it can

change your life as well. Just go to this link

and you can get this valuable health and raw food

information.
