Regarding:
"Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type" and "Cook Right 4 Your Blood Type" both by D'Adamo

FACTS & OPINIONS by Chris Holley
We owe D'Adamo Great Credit for much good, but at the same time, the guy is way off base and dead wrong on certain items. "Bad Dog, No Biskit".

These books are about eating certain foods which are good for your blood type and avoiding others, dependant upon your blood type.   I studied the first book, ignoring his pleas for blood type O to eat meat, as I (Chris Holley) am a vegetarian Vegan. THE BOOK HAS A GREAT DEAL TO OFFER, IT HAS MUCH IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFORMATION.  DAdamo says blood type O's need Extra Protein, and should eat meat, but I am a vegetarian, so I get a bit more Soy Protein, and I do.  In his sequel however, his advice for Blood Type O Vegetarians is to start eating meat a bit at a time, then increase it.  I was appalled. He just wont stop, and he ignors the best current medical advice from the Mayo Clinc.

FIRST OF ALL:  Most of his data on various foods for specific blood types, is not specific as to Why? avoid certain foods, or How Much to avoid them (100%? or cut back?), and just how Serious each of these issues are.  However, he is specific on some main points and makes some sense.  But with his very strong stand against blood type O Vegetarians, I WONDER HOW MUCH OF HIS DATA IS REALLY VALID, AND JUST HOW MUCH IS PREJUDICE? (some info is obviouly valid, and some is obviously not, as for the rest? I do not know). He also seems to think that Blood type O people enjoy getting Cankar Sores from excessive hot foods and low pH foods.

SECOND OF ALL: The Mayo Clinic states that eating little or no meat, reduces ones chances of many disease, including Heart Disease and many forms of Cancer. 

THIRDLY:   WHAT BLOOD TYPE IS D'ADAMO?

CERTAINLY NOT TYPE O:   As per D'Adamo, I (a type O) am not allowed Avocados (which I love), Blueberries, Boysenberries, Strawberries, Honeydew Melon, all of which I absolutely love; but I am allowed Broccoli and Spinach, which I was never too fond of to begin with, but can now eat them raw, and if anything, at least his first book got me to start eating a bit healthier in general.  D'Adamo says Type O persons are Cro-Magnon primitives with aggressive personalities.  Perhaps some blood type O took the last 2 ripe avocados from the store, just as D'Adamo was going to buy them, and perhaps that sale on Strawberries ran out, because of those barbaric type O's, and maybe there are not enough Blueberries to go around, because blood type O likes those too.   All that good stuff, banished from the blood type O diet.   WE CAN REST ASSURED THAT D'ADAMO IS NOT A BLOOD TYPE O

TYPE A?:   With his obsession that blood type O vegetarians must start eating meat, it is clear to me that he does not like blood type O's, nor vegetarians.  And because he does not not like Vegetarianism, but admits that its good for blood type A.  I think we can safely assume that D'ADAMO IS NOT A BLOOD TYPE A.  

Leaving only Type B (common) or Type AB (rare) left to choose from.  Looking at the long list of Delicious items type B may consume, I think that we can safely assume that D'ADAMO IS A GENUINE BLOOD TYPE B.  The more he sells his books, the less that the store runs out of Ripe Avocados and on sale Strawberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries.   More for him, yum.  
We might look forward to a future sequel.....
