Eat Right 4 Your Type - Blood Type Diet

Dr. D’Adamo breaks down foods for each blood type and identifies them as highly beneficial, neutral, or avoid. Highly Beneficial foods act like medicine, advancing health and protecting against illnesses. Neutral foods provide required macronutrients and caloric energy. The avoid foods act like a poison, inducing biological disorder. Consuming avoid foods increases the chance of disease. Dr. Peter D’Adamo shares stories in his book of his clients who are ill from the wrong diet then recover after adopting their blood type diet.
