Research Notes on Blood Type Diet
Based on an evolutionary theory that blood groups evolved over time, the Blood Type Diet claims that your blood type can help to determine what foods are best for your health. Interestingly, roughly 8 out of 10 individuals report a positive result from following the program. This is especially interesting in light of the fact that very different foods are recommended for each of the four blood groups.
Fast Facts:
- The four blood types are type O, type A, type B, and type AB.
- Type O will benefit from lean meats, poultry, and fish.
- Type A benefits from a vegetarian diet.
- Type B benefits from low-fat dairy, meat, and produce.
- Type AB benefits from seafood, tofu, dairy, and most produce.
