I recently read that Inuit are almost all type B.  This is one of
the factors linking them to Asian, rather than Native American,
ancestry.  Native Americans tend to be type O, with certain
exceptions (e.g., the Blackfoot Indians of the northwest are type
A). >>

Thanks, Todd, for this info.

There seems to be so much legitimate scientific evidence debunking D'Adamo's
theory that I cannot for the life of me understand how this is allowed to
proliferate with so little objection. He not only continues to publish books
(raking in huge sums of money, no doubt) but gets numerous speaking
engagements, television appearances, and the support of legions of people,
including some doctors. I once dug up several well written papers explaining
all the fallacies in his thinking. (Sorry, I do not have them at my
fingertips.) Is the medical community just so hell-bent on attacking Atkins,
that they have lost site of some of the real dietary scams sweeping the
country?

OK, I'm done with my tirade. Thanks for listening, Paleomates!
