This is an interesting take on food choices. It details the foods that one should or should not eat, based on their blood type. D'Adamo believes that our digestion/calorie usage is based on evolution and the dietary choices available as blood types evolved - so, for example, if you're an O blood type, your genetics are 10s of thousands of years old, so your diet should be based on the food-types that would have been available at the time of O's evolution.

It's all very logical. As you read it, it'll make great sense.

But... there is no evidence/proof of his hypotheses. He sounds completely sensible (and maybe he is), but there is no body of proof from any other sources that support his conclusions. ( )

Dr D'Adamo's premise is that each blood type should follow their own diet. The ideas seem mostly common sense and general sensible diet instruction, but one or two aspects make me hesitate to follow this plan. ( )

An interesting book, if you are interested in blood type history and nutrition. Author's later books vary slightly in recommendations. ( )

I was intrigued by the idea that your blood type determines your diet type. I read this book before I knew my blood type and was convinced I was an A . Turns out I am an O . I thought it was especially interesting that the O diet was heavy on red meat. I'm a vegetarian and have been for more than half of my life. I wouldn't change my diet to include red meat.

Shows how the evolution of Bl. Types A, B and AB from the original human hunter/gatherer blood type O coincided with the agricultural revolution and nomadic migrations of human prehistory. Makes the case for four different diets and exercise regimens based on blood type, showing how the diets can be used to bring about or enhance curative measures taken for common diseases. Clearly written and persuasive. ( )

Blood type diet

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 039914255X, Hardcover)

This abridged audiobook introduces Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's revolutionary approach to dieting based on the connection between blood type and health. Read by audio pro Polly Adams, D'Adamo's bestseller details how different foods affect specific blood types both positively and negatively. We learn that "pastas made from buckwheat are better tolerated for Type Os," and that type As should eliminate all meat from their diet to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Adams blends an efficient, no-nonsense delivery and warm tones that may remind some of a favorite talk-radio personality. And considering the important subject matter, listeners will appreciate all of these qualities. While some dieters may find the suggestions too progressive--it's recommended that women with a history of breast cancer in their family introduce snails into their diet--this is a beneficial three-hour investment for dieters seeking alternative nutritional plans. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Cate Bick
