I recall some questions about prevalent blood types, saw this in 'Healthy
Talk' a newsletter (1-800-691-1190) from The Vitamin Shoppe
(1-800-223-1216).  They sell name brands at a discount, ship internationally.
The following is a contiguous quotation:
 
Blood type is the second factor to consider when determining what you
should eat.  This fascinating information was introduced to me through
the work of Dr. James D'Adamo, a naturopathic physician in Toronto,
Canada, and his son Dr. Peter D'Adamo, a naturopathic physician from
Greenwich Connecticut.  According to Peter D'Adamo, the different blood
types (O, A, B and AB) eveolved at different times in our evolution
(D'Adamo, P.J. and E.R. Zampieron.  "ABO Bias May Signal Innate
Differences in 'Natural' Immunity."  Journal of Naturopathic Medicine
2(1), 1991:  11-16).  Your blood type is another piece of the puzzle for
understanding which foods are best for your particular body.
 
Type O is the oldest blood type on earth.  People with Type O blood do
best when they follow a diet that resembles the diet of our Paleolithic
hunter-gatherer ancestors.  This means consuming a diet high in lean
animal protein, supplemented with small amounts of natural grains and
lots of vegetables and some fruits.  Overly cultivated or processed foods
are hard for Type O's to digest, as are dairy products, so these foods
should only be eaten in small amounts.
 
G.I. specialist Dr. Michael Oppenheim, M.D. in his book The Complete Book
of Better Digestion (Rodale Press:  Emmaus, Pennsylvania, 1990), has
noted that gluten intolerance or celiac sprue is more prevalent with Type
O's than other blood types.
