I should add that the advice in this book is not intended as a substitute or recommendation of your health care provider, an especially if you have an existing health issue if that is the case you should consult a physician before trying this or any other diet. But in my personal opinion this way of eating could just be the missing link in the recovery and or prevention of many of our present health problems. I know that it can be a strong statement to make but with so many testifying to the benefits they are getting from this diet I must say that the pie is in the pudding when it comes to eating right for your type. Dr. D’Adamo states in this book that foods are classified into three categories beneficial, neutral, and avoid. Following are a few examples of the three basic classifications for each blood type in order to maximize your health.

salmon, whitefish, olive and flaxseed oils, onions, kale, garlic, spinach,
