I am a firm believer in the Blood type diet by Peter D’Adamo.

Blood type A has some survivability to Bubonic Plague, type O does not. So the O’s died out and the A's took over in the middle ages.

Mitigating factor is that O is recessive, so two people with A, can actually be A/O and produce an O child.

But A seems to be susceptible to cancer and heart problems. Where O is survivable of a heart attack or cancer.

The rare ones like B and AB are quite different. B's tend to die of stroke, and AB has a lot of problems with autoimmune diseases: Lupus, etc, and stroke.

Now these are generalizations. You can have cancer and a heart attack and be an O....if you smoke and have other self inflicted habits.

That is why certain diseases tend to run in families, their blood types are the same.

I challenge you to look around and ask questions.

My friends think I am nuts.

It is a grain of truth in this, i.e. that blood groups is related to prevalence of different diseases. But AB0 is just one of the 30 recognized blood types http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_blood_group_systems If you want to have a higher correlation to different diseases you should take a look at HLA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen

This is a fascinating subject. However, I would not decide my food intake on the book by D’Adamo, but humans are omnivores so it really is not that important what we eat. ;-)
