The Blood Type Diet Scam!

[Paulppaul]

I was reading through your posts and found that someone posted about the blood type diet. I was on that diet and the Genotype diet and now know what it is all about. It is a scam and it makes people sick. The only diet that works on the BTD is the O diet. And I believe the only diet that works on the Genotype Diet is the Hunter. Why well these scam artists designed this diet to make money OK. Everything is made up. There is no evidence that it works. Just go to wikipedia and search Blood type diet. It says that they lie and there is no evidence that blood types have anything to do with diets and there are virtually no scientists that back it up.

BUT, the O diet is designed for us celiac suffers. So the O diet and Hunter diets are great diets for us but keep in mind the rest are deliberately made to make you sick in the long run. The people on the BTD forum are all con artists posing to be regular dieters. SO WATCH OUT FOR THIS ONE. I know I sound paranoid but after being on the diets and getting sick you get mad. My doctor also warned me that only the O diet worked but I didn't listen.

I will add my 2 cents to distract myself from my horrible gluten poisoning.... I remember learning in med school about how the blood types have no relation to the digestive tract. The "evidence" the authors try to use is something about how the ABO antigens are picked up in the developing GI tract or something like that and they completely skew it and try to make it sound logical. There are a lot of diet books out there that are really crazy and take advantage of well meaning people by using fake "scientific evidence" that they have manipulated and taken out of context to try and get people's money.

I remember when I became ill (the year before my diagnosis) with iron def anemia and my mom bought that book thinking it would help me. LOL...I'm type A and whatever that diet recommended would kill me
