Sorry, I asked on the other post what the premise of the book is. Now I see!! It's amazing to me that if I had read this book before reading "Eat Right 4 Your Type", I may have a completely different view on nutrition. Eat Right is based on years of study as well and is broken into the four blood types and the origins of those blood types. Type O's like me have our ancestry going back the furthest to Africa according to the book. The theory is that since O's were hunter/gatherers that our system is more inclined to meat and natural vegetable crops as opposed to agriculturally produced grain. I can't remember the exact breakdown but as man began to branch out, the blood types altered to fit the type of diet they were more exposed to in a particular part of the world. Eat Right also makes a compelling argument for it's premise. It does not, however, make any claims regarding cancer or it's treatment. There are case studies in the book that, if true, would certainly make one think there could be something to the research. One in particular is a woman with crohn's who suffered for years on a complete vegetarian diet and was adamantly opposed to eating meat. Her doctor finally convinced her to try the ( I'm pretty sure she was type O) blood type diet that consisted largely of meat and supposedly her symptoms cleared. Who knows?
The China Study's intro certainly sounds intriguing.
