Diet and Blood Type

QuestionCould you comment on the book "4 Diets 4 Blood Types" By Peter D'Adamo? It was very interesting and seemed to have some very strong evidence to uphold the theory on eating according to your blood type. I would like to know how accurate testing blood and their reaction to foods is under a microscope verses what really happens in the body. Being a vegetarian for 8 yrs. and trying to feed my family the same I was not happy to read that all us "type O's" were born to eat meat and no wheat!

AnswerI have reviewed the book and strongly feel that it has no solid scientific basis. It seems that to sell books these days, a "hook" or gimmick is needed. This one is nonsense! You and your family are eating just fine. Keep it up.
