  1. Hi all,

    Eating wheat products, I am told, slows down the metabolism and
    results in weight gain, same as refined sugar.

    But what about spelt?

    Eating refined carbs like white flour increases the blood glucose
    concentrations. The more refined the carb and the more carbs consumed,
    the higher the blood glucose spike. In reaction, the pancreas produces
    insulin which triggers the entire system to convert as much of it to
    fat as possible. It continues to produce insulin until the blood
    glucose levels level off to normal.

    Describing this as "slowing down the metabolism and resulting in weight
    gain" is not very accurate.

  3. Spelt doesn't cause blood agglutination on Blood Type O people. Wheat does.
    Spelt has only a small percentage of the gluten that wheat does.

  4. Hi Pizza Girl,

    I'm presently learning about blood type diets. It sounds to me like
    gluten is a bad idea for all four types. However I was also told
    by a chef that gluten is really two chemicals Gliadin and Glutenin, and
    that spelt and kamut have less of the gliadin. Wheat and rye
    also have pentosan. I'm interested in finding out more about the
    chemistry of all this. It's fascinating stuff but also important for
    maintaining good health.

    Thanks,
    Yib

    If blood-type diets are the norm in Nature, why don't we see the
    bizarrely-different diets recommended practiced by other species that have
    differing blood types?

    D'Adamo did not have a single solid proof for his claims and his evolution
    based explanation makes no sense whatsoever- neither on a biochemical nor on
    any other level. if blood type diets would work as they say they do we
    would all be extinct by now.

    1. D'Adamo notes that one of his sources is anthropology. I first
    came across the importance of blood type myself when taking a
    source in anthropology, long before I heard of this guy. It is
    considered well proven that blood types predispose people to
    certain diseases.

    saying that they die, just that their bodies are less efficient.

    It is true that blood groups predispose to certain diseases but D'Adamo is
    illogical. Let's take blood group O. Blood group O has a higher risk of
    duodenal ulcers. According to D'Adamo blood group O people should prefer
    meat to vegetables, legumes and cereal, which is is ill-advised as dietary
    fiber prevents duodenal ulcers:

    "Dietary fibre might have a role in preventing formation or recurrence of DU
    [duodenal ulcers]. Fibre types (soluble or insoluble) and sources (fruit,
    vegetables, legumes, or cereal) affect risk of DU to varying degrees. Foods
    high in soluble fibre, such as oranges, carrots, and beans, seem to be more
    effective in reducing risk of DU. Data on the effect of diet and lifestyle
    on risk of DU are sparse, particularly regarding women, and more research is
    needed. Vitamin A might also have a protective effect against DU. Other
    dietary and lifestyle factors have a limited effect on risk of DU, but
    quitting smoking might help with ulcer healing and preventing ulcer
    recurrence. Dietary advice for patients with DU should emphasize increased
    fibre and adequate consumption of, for example, green leafy vegetables.
    Patients who smoke should quit."

  10. Where do you get your supposed D'adamo information from? I have not seen
    most of what you said in his books or website.

    Well, I have. I have read both his book and his website pages. Personally my
    blood group is O and so I have been paying attention what he says about my
    blood group. According to D'Adamo most grains and legumes contain lectins
    which are not good for blood group O. He also states that as ancient
    warriors blood group O people digest meat easily. This clearly leads to a
    diet which increases the risk of duodenal ulcers. This is just one example
    of his ill-adviced regime.

    The book I have, which is an audio book, doesn't refer to
    O as 'warriors'. That would be nonsensical anyway. The point
    they make is that O evolved earlier, during the time when
    humans were mostly hunting, or eating the remainder of
    animals killed by other predators. Therefore the had to
    digest meat better, even raw meat.

    I notice my mistake just after posting. I ment to say 'hunters'. Still what
    I said about D'Adamo's ill-adviced regimen remains.

  14. I learned my blood type today and I can tell you,
    all of the foods in the 'frequent' list are ones that
    I love, like soy, and all the ones in the 'to avoid' column
    like beef and milk are ones I couldn't care less about.
    It's uncanny.

    That little curly thing, "?", at the end of a sentence is called a
    "question mark", does that help?? Yikes, there are a couple more.
