This is one question I have been asked many times. Everytime I talk to people about rare blood types, it seems someone in the crowd is interested in sharing the fact that she or he (usually she) has been on the blood type diet.
Of course I get asked what I think about it and normally I stay out of it, but I have to say that now I am looking at a study pretty much indicating what scientists have told me in the past in private.
ABO Genotype, ‘Blood-Type’ Diet and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Adherence to certain ‘Blood-Type’ diets is associated with favorable effects on some cardiometabolic risk factors, but these associations were independent of an individual’s ABO genotype, so the findings do not support the ‘Blood-Type’ diet hypothesis.
In other words: The diet has its benefits, but no correlation between blood types and what should be consumed has been detected when examining the formula given.
I am Rh 0 Negative…The only studies that I do are personal ones with close family, relatives, friends and clients who are many blood types…and of course, I try to read many comments on websites…always looking for an answer…the Eat for your blood type would not work for many of us negatives…I have tried to find if that particular study was done just on positive blood types…Do you know if this study was done on subjects of positive or negative blood types…thanks…
I am not aware of any actual studies having been done by the creators of “Eat right for your blood type”
