CB, I post here for one reason. That is to give an alternative view. Some years ago I saw a pro vegan show on PBS..... At the end they said that they offered the meat industry a chance to give a response.....LOL ,like only some one with a financial axe to grind would recommend eating meat. Vegans think that it is a given that meat eating is unhealthy. It is not a given. I believe it is healthy and natural to eat meat. That is obviously my point of view. But I have heard no one else on this thread suggest this......So now and again I come on here to challenge prevailing wisdom. It is up to readers of this thread to do their own DD....Not accept my opinion or that of any one else. I only point out that there is an alternative view........ BTW From some one who has been a gym rat all his life I would say the physician right about body builders...in general. Some will consume the most god awful unhealthy stuff....or drugs. ............I'm not a body builder I'm a health finatic

This guy has the most rational take on diets I've come across. The Blood Type Diet is different for each type, but one interesting aspect is the O diet is very similar to the Atkins diet. That the Atkins diet is pretty successful is no mystery as 47% of people have O blood. My wife wanted to be a vegetarian but gave this diet a chance and has made some major improvements in overall well-being. Specific things that happened to me were better dental check-ups; no bleeding during cleanings and healthier tissue, elimination of GERD and arthritic-type pains and stabilized weight. Over a period of time food cravings for "bad" foods declined. I occasionally couldn't give blood before because my iron level was too low. Now it's no problem.
