Firstly, I’ve already searched the archives and this subject has been brought up before but they spoke about the diet aspect of it and I want to know is the premise true.
A diet book which is obviously selling all the products and booklets to make this work…“Eat right 4 your type” by Peter D’Adamo… makes the claim that your blood type reacts to the lectins in food aiding or hindering digestion.
**“Many food lectins have characteristics that are close enough to a certain blood type antigen to make it an ‘enemy’ to another. For example, milk has B-like qualities; if a person with Type A blood drinks it, their system will immediately start the agglutination process in order to reject it.”
“Certain foods contain toxic lectins that metabolize poorly for certain blood types and well for others.”**
Is there any truth to this? Does my AB blood type prefer turkey to chicken? Are some foods then not properly digested and there is no benefit to eating them?
I’m actually surprised nobody HAS written an astrology-based diet book yet.
Hmm lemme look into my crystal ball here:
Virgos are uptight and high strung. Thus, they should eat lots of carbs and turkey, which will mellow them out because they’ll be sleepy a lot.
Pisces and Cancer people are supposedly moody, so they need a low-carb diet. This will prevent wild fluctuations in the blood sugar and thus keep their emotions on an even keel.
While lectins are used in blood banks because they mimic certain antigens, in order for them to cause agglutination of rbcs they must be introduced, whole, into the bloodstream. I find it hard to believe they could survive the digestion process intact enough to do any such thing.
