Blood Group Diet Information according to Dr. Peter D'Adamo's web site and books.

Allergies

Blood Group Diet compatibility does not necessarily mean that you can tolerate this food, as some people have an allergic response or food sensitivity independent of blood group.

*Wheat

"There is some evidence that the Type A antigen in the gut binds to wheat germ agglutinin in a somewhat modest manner, giving Type A and Type AB secretors an ability to dampen the effects of wheat germ lectin. They do this by binding the lectin to their free blood type antigen in digestive juices before it gets a chance to do any damage. This would not be the case for non-secretors."¹ (D'Adamo 2002, p.53)

Blood Group Diet Weekly Portion Recommendations²(D'Adamo 2002)

7 slices per 400 g loaf/ 17 slices per 800 g loaf. (Based on healthy Caucasian ancestry)
