Summary: Accurate & Enlightening!
Review: I am 19 years old and blood type B. My father is AB my mother O. I spent 6 weeks with my father last summer and adhered to the diet and exercise regimen exactly. I went from 155 lbs. to 135 lbs, and 28% bodyfat to 9%, and while doing so ate more food than before I started. This book has hit the nail right on the head. I will continue to eat for my blood type for the rest of my life, as my body knows and feels the difference. The minute I cut chicken out of my diet, my weight started to drop.My fathers family are mostly A with one B. Most have already died of heart disease, with the exception of my B grandmother, who is in good condition. My mothers family are all O, and my great grandparents on her side are still living in their 90's. The longevity statistics are so accurate they are scary. The compatibility stuff is really accurate too. I am grateful that I learned about this blood type stuff at an early age. I used to be tired all the time, now I have energy to burn. I know what I can and cannot eat, and I follow the diet as closely as possible. This is a really good book. I think they should teach this stuff in college.

Summary: A Life Changing Experience
Review: I am blood type A and have struggled with weight problems all my life. Both my parents and brother passed away at early ages, from heart disease and cancer. This book has answered the most profound questions regarding why and how we become ill, and how to extend life. Do not, and I repeat, do not let anyone sidetrack or pursuade you from overlooking this significant and life changing book. Since following its guidelines I have lost 66 pounds, my cholesterol has dropped from 391 to 188 in five months, and all my stomach problems have disappeared. I have given a copy of this book to all my children, grandchildren, and friends. My only regret is not having this incredible knowledge sooner, as it may have extended the life of loved ones close to me. I have never felt better, and thank the Lord every day for this wonderful book.

Summary: Go to the horse's mouth
Review: I have read the D'Adamo's book and I have been following the diet for about 2 years now [more or less] but I find this book easier to understand and with many fascinating and down to earth insights. Such as that couples seem very often to have the same blood type and so forth. I also have had several "Oh! I get it!" moments. Would certainly advocate buying it, even for the very knowledgeable in this subject. I found the large type a bit off putting at first, but soon got used to that.

Summary: Sounds too good to be true? Think again!!
Review: I was initially sceptical about the value of the blood type theory, however having adopted the diet and recommendations I have encountered significant health benefits - my allergies are receding, my general health and "joie de vivre" is noticeably improving - and I have only been doing it for a couple of months. As a B negative, I was surprised to learn that my husband is B positive and my best friend is also B negative - given that c7% of the population are B positive and only 1% B negative, this seems like quite a coincidence... or not!! Looking forward to more revelations from Weissberg, D'Adamo et al.

Summary: Average age at death 61 for blood type A?
Review: Many people claim they lost weight on the blood type diet, but look more closely, regardless of your type. Eat lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, Essene bread instead of commecially prepared white or wheat, and stay away from sweets and processed foods. Common sense. I have relatives who were blood type A that died in their 80's and a few in their 90's, and some of them were smokers. Sorry, but I don't buy into the "fact" that type A's are guaranteed to die before 70 years of age unless they take extra special care of themselves. However, I do agree that A types are more prone to stress and anxiety than type O's and that A types have low stomach acid, since I'm type A and never took antacids a day in my life and I know numerous O's who munch on them like candy.

Review: My father is blood type AB and my mother blood type O. I am type B, nineteen years old, and attend college. Last summer I visited my father and went on the diet and did the exercise recommended. I went from 165 lbs. to 135 lbs, and from 28% body fat to 9% body fat in 8 weeks. The diet and exercise works like a charm and I'm glad my dad started me young. My father's family were mostly type A, and just as the books says, they all died of heart disease. My B grandmother, on my fathers side is in good health at 76. On my mother's side they are all type O and very healthy. My great grandparents are in their 90's and still with it. The part about life span is significant and accurate as far as my family is concerned. The part about compatibility is also accurate. My parents, who are AB and O stayed married for 10 years. After they divorced they each married spouses of their same blood type, and both are very happy. Coincidence? I think not. I wish this subject was taught in college, as it seems much more relevant and practible than many of the courses I am required to take.

Summary: A copycat of Eat Right For Your Type
Review: Some of this book I do find fairly accurate. For one, I am type
A+ and benefit little from physical activity and are very anxiety prone, but I still think the human diet needs balance (and yes, I think everyone should eat a little beef every now and then regardless of blood type). What I find to be ridiculous is how nearly all the type O subjects listed were at least in their 80's when they died and most of the type A's were in their 50's and 60's when they died, mainly cancer and heart disease, and only one was over 80. President Nixon was type A and lived to be 81 and George Bush Sr. is type A and is alive and well near 80. Not to mention, I had relatives who lived to be 80-something that were type A. And I have known numerous type O's who died before they were 60, but these were people who died of cerebral stroke or skin cancer in most cases. I think much of that area was made up. I kind of find it funny that type O's are referred to as strong and healthy meat eaters who make good leaders and are probably bullies and type A's as weak and sickly vegetarians who are shy and passive.

Summary: Average age at death 61 for blood type A?
Review: These guys have analyzed a unique data set of mortality tables segmented by different blood type. Their conclusion supported by the facts are that each bloodtype is associated with very specific vulnerabilities to various health condition. As a result, survival rates at different age are very different. Their analysis extends to nutrition, sexual temperament, and other individual characteristics associated with bloodtype. This is most interesting stuff.

Summary: People Need This Information
Review: When I first read this book I couldn't believe the statistics on life span could be accurate. But as I checked family members and friends it became painfully clear the statistics were very correct. It never occurred to me that blood type could be a genetic marker for how long one lives. My family is mixed with type A's and type O's, and its uncanny how the type O's have outlived the A's by a considerable number of years. I wish our government would follow-up this essential research so individuals of every blood type would live the same life span. It makes sense that the Japanese, mostly type A, live longer than any other people on earth, and type A's in the United States the shortest life span. Our food is killing us. This is a great book that will extend many lives, but there is more research to be done and quickly, before too many die needlessly.
