Hi, I wanted to thank all you that responded to this survey I had a great
response. I also wanted to let you know that the name of the Book I did
the survey on was called EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE by Dr. Peter J.D'Adamo.
Several of you that answered had also read his book it is very interesting
and had a lot of information.
I had 52 people participate in this survey. Of course, there were more
people that had type 'type O' than any other blood type. 28 people had 'O'
type blood, 15 people had 'A' type blood, 8 people had 'B' type blood and
one person had 'AB' type blood. Of course 'AB' is a much less common blood
type than 'O' type is. I did have some very interesting results from they
survey.
Here are the results of 'O' type and the food allergies people reported.
Nuts............4 Beans Soy.........5
Dairy/cheese....16 Pork...............2 Lethicin
Eggs............4 Turkey Legumes.....2
MSG Shellfish..........5 String Beans
Aspartame Basil Beef
Spelt Mint Fish
Corn...........9 Pears Buckwheat
Citrus fruit...3 Potatoes............2 Goat
Nectarines Oranges.............2 Lamb
Plums Broccoli Raspberry
Cabbage........2 Apples Starches
Peas...........2 Bananas Mushroom
Mango Garlic Raw fruits
Coffee Tomatoes Chocolate
Dates Coconut Melon
If you notice the numbers represent the number of people who had reactions
to those products the ones without numbers mean only one person responded
having problems with that product. There are several that seem to stand
out. Of course we know dairy products seem can be a problem for people who
have celiac, however when comparing the list to type A you'll notice there
is not as many people with dairy problems or Corn. Actually, many of the
foods people listed did correspond with what the book said to avoid a few
did not.
Here are the list for type 'A'
Milk/cheese....7 Sugar Pecans
Corn Sweet fruit Fish
Soy............6 Carb. Oranges..........2
tomatos........2 yeast.........3 Brazil Nuts
Onion..........2 Pork..........3 Pine Nuts
Beef...........4 Chicken Pineapple
Eggs...........5 Strawberries Cinnamon
mushrooms......2 Bananas Peanuts...........2
Chocolate......2 green beans shellfish
MSG Kiwi
There were also a few areas that stood out here as well and which the book
also was on target. One area that wasn't was Soy. 'O' type was also pretty
strong in the soy group but not as strong as A.
Here are the 'type B' results.
Dairy........5 Chocolate.........2 Pop
Eggs.........2 Carbo. Carrots
red meat Tomatoes Celery
nuts & Seeds......2 Onions Bananas
Corn Garlic Some Fruits......2
Peaches Caffeine
There were a couple of areas that people had in common however, we needed
more people to get a true picture.
Here are the 'type AB' results.
Walnuts
Bananas
Oranges
Since, there was only one person it is hard to know much about similarities.
According to the book if you follow the blood type diets carefully you can:
" Avoid many common viruses and infections.
Lose weight, as your body rids itself of toxins and fats
Fight back against life-threatening diseases such as cancer,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver failure.
Avoid many of the factors that cause rapid cell deterioration, thus
slowing down the aging process." pg 33
Depending on what blood type you have the lectin activity of foods may do
the following:
" Inflame the digestive tract lining.
Interfere with the digestive process, causing bloating.
Slow down the rate of food metabolism, so you don't efficiently burn
calories for energy.
Compromise the Production of insulin.
Upset the hormonal balance, causing water retention(edema), thyroid
disorders, and other problems.
Each blood type has its own reactions to certain foods..."pg 39
According to the book people should eat the Highly Beneficial foods and
the neutral food that do not cause people to gain weight or other problems.
According to the book some people have food intolerances that are not the
same thing as allergies. With these intolerances some people will not be
able to eat every food that is listed as beneficial and should remove it
from their diet.

at a higher risk for. Also, this is not a scientific study it is only a
survey and should not be used as such.
