I would say there is some truth to what is said on this page (coincidence or not?)....I do best on lots of veggies, easy on the meat (but protein from other sources).
I looked at this page also. What would lead you to believe that there is some truth to this when he has presented no data to back up his claims? All it is is pseudoscientific nonsensical marketing for the vast supply of useless garbage he wants to sell you. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that your diet should be based on your blood type.
Nope. I said there is some truth to what is said on the PAGE. I also said there are doubters and critics for everything. She'll have to research it and try it out for herself. I gave her my feedback based on the PAGE, I'm not going to accept the assignment of researching/trying it....i'll leave that to her.

I already posted scientific debunking of the diet. No need to research.0 -
Since science has proven that it's not what you eat, but how much, this is total bunk. Woo. BS.1

Mind you, I'm still working on my Biology degree, but I'm immensely curious what makes him think that we have genotypes for supposed ideal diets and exercise regimens.0

Not sure what this has to do with the fact that that website is complete paeudoscientific nonsense. Are your saying that we must give equal weight to quacks because they have doubters and critics? There are people who think that the earth is flat, and there are people who criticize that, does that mean we must accept that the earth is flat?I also said there are doubters and critics for everything.
Why should she try something that has been shown to be nonsense?She'll have to research it and try it out for herself.

There is no clinical evidence base for this.
Nor the hair colour diet, the shoe size diet or the favourite colour diet.
Not that this will stop people jumping in to it headfirst when they read about it on popsugar.
I might be interested in the hair colour diet! What does that entail for someone with pink hair?0 -

I read it years ago but it has to do with the origins of the blood types. O blood originated in central Europe (I think) where meat is prevalent, so O blood types should eat a lot of meat. The premise is crap, and the cardiologists I work with will second that.1 -

You should eat only pink or pink related things - Strawberries, watermelon, shrimp, macaroons, icing, sprinkles, strawberry milk, wafer cookies. Like a flamingo, this will also help you keep your hair color fresh.
