[quote=Anonymous]There is also a blood type diet according to which the dietary demands for each group depending on the blood type are different.  In the nutshell, dairy is ok and even beneficial for the people with B and AB blood types, especially B.  They supposedly thrive on dairy products, especially fermented products like kefir, yogurts, cheese.  A and O blood types do not benefit from dairy and should limit it.

I don't want to go into the detail as there is tons of stuff if you google it.  But the basic premise is that different blood types evolved during different stages of human culture evolution and is geography related too ( from hunter gatherer (O) to agricultural (A) to nomadic herder (B) to mixed (AB)), so people of different blood types have evolutionary adapted to certain types of diets and do better with certain products and not others.

Anyway, seems like there are tons of books and theories, but I don't personally believe that the dietary restrictions should equally be applied to all people.  A lot of longevity factors are genetic, there are people living till late 90s and they had bad diets, smoked, drank, etc and even had some deadly diseases like cancer that they've overcome.  BTW, I am not buying into the blood type diet all that much, but I have to say some things are true for our family (O and B and A types).   I just don't believe these research books as they all seem to advocate some sort of extremes.

At the end of the day, you eat and feed your family whatever you can buy in a local store and cook or grab at the lunch places near your work.  It's not like many of us have access to pure organic materials and know how to cook this or even enjoy eating it.  The wheat grass that some people drink every day just makes me gag.[/quote]
