[FONT="]Hi all
Had an interesting conversation with a family friend.
Basically, it was not about what foods are good for you, But what is good for your particular blood type
So in short the blood type diet is based on the principal that when we eat a chemical reaction occurs between the food we eat and our blood. This reaction, which is genetically inherited, is caused by proteins found in food called lectins, which can cause our blood cells to clump or adhere together.
When you eat foods that contains lectins which are incompatible with your blood type antigen, the lectins target an organ or bodily system and can cause blood cells to start to agglutinate.
Our immune system protects us from a majority of the lectins we eat, however a small percentage ends up in the blood stream and can cause reactions in different parts of the body.
So there is Type A, B, O and AB.
Depending on what type you are the jist is, Say Type A. They are said to do much better on a vegetarian diet , Type O’s do well on a heavy meat diet
Me personally, I call bullshit but I would like to see what you all think
For the sake of it, I would like to find out what blood type I am
Your thoughts?[/FONT]
