Reply #12: I saw a book on blood types and how they evolved and what they should eat [View All]

[Callie McAllie]

it was in the waiting room at my chiropractor's some years ago. I didn't get to read the whole thing, obviously, but I remember a bit of it. It was about how first society was primitive, foraging for food, and that a certain blood type was common (maybe O?). As agriculture evolved, the A blood type grew up. (Don't ask me about B, I didn't read that part, since I am A.)

But, depending on your blood type, you're supposed to be related to one of these kinds of eating groups (foragers vs. cultivators, for example). I am supposed to eat more acidic foods, per the book, like pineapple, and water with lemon juice in it. I did try to do that for a while, but I didn't notice any difference.

Funny thing, though, my dad always drank a glass of water with lemon juice in it every morning to help stay regular. I have no idea what his blood type is.
