 Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 12:32 am Post subject: Blood Type Diet Takes Evolutionary Leap |
 |
|
I have permission from Broadway Books to distribute an excerpt from
the revolutionary new book, "The GenoType Diet," by Dr. Peter J.
D'Adamo, author of the blockbuster bestseller, "Eat Right 4 Your
Type."
Dr. D'Adamo helped millions of people achieve better health through
eating properly for their blood type. In "The GenoType Diet," his work
takes an evolutionary leap. Based on years of research into human
genetics, "The GenoType Diet" is a sophisticated approach to healthy
eating and weight loss based on six common genetic profiles. Why six?
"Why are there four blood types," the author asks. He didn't make up
these profiles -- they naturally surface through analysis of vast
amounts of data connecting blood type, disease, and genetics. The six
"GenoTypes" derive from genetically-encoded survival strategies that
cause some people to hoard fat, others to be allergic to grains,
others to have trouble digesting dairy products, and so on.
"The GenoType Diet" will help you quickly determine your GenoType
using a simple questionnaire. Then Dr. D'Adamo provides nutritional
guidance based on your genetic tendencies that can silence genes that
trigger disease or weight gain while encouraging genes that boost
immune response, retard aging, and so on.
The science behind gene stimulation and retardation is called
"methylation" -- coating genes through diet to make them harder or
easier to express. The excerpt I'm distributing explains how
methylation works and how it relates to human nutrition.
You'll find the excerpt from "The GenoType Diet" at the following URL,
or send me email and I will reply with the text -- and *only* the text

This has got to be the big crock of crap I have seen.
First, they way genotype is determined is with a sample of your DNA, not
a survey. Second, even if Dr. D'Adamo had your DNA info, there is no
evidence that this diet program works. It is pure speculation. The only
thing that is benefited is D'Adamo's bank account.
More importantly, there is no way easy way to measure methylation. The
whole thing is a crock of crap to get your money.

This is what I would call 25-year successful Kookery.

Have you heard the one about chemical weapons in Iraq?
How about that Social Security will provide for you in your old age?

The science is based on analysis of vast amounts of data collected
when people visit the doctor (blood pressure, blood type, weight,
height, etc.) and cross-referencing it to the maladies they are
reporting. This kind of massive statistical analysis is behind not
only this book but also books such as "Real Age," which analyzes
mortality data to determine factors that increase or decrease aging.
Thanks to computers and growing archives of data, many sciences are
experienced incredible breakthroughs based on massive analysis.

Then how do you know it occurs? There would be no such thing as
"methylation" if it could not be measured.
In any case, The GenoType Diet is an valid and valuable attempt to
adjust eating practices to genetic predispositions. As analysis of the
human genome proceeds, the nutritional advice it yields should become
increasingly more accurate. There is no reason to knock this attempt
at extracting nutritional guidance from analyzing genetic patterns.

Have you read this analysis of Dr. D'Adamo's previous
crackpot theory? That theory was as bogus as his new one.

D'Adamo has no credibility as a scientist. He is
strictly a huckster promoting his books and dietary
supplements.

I erred when I referred to "Dr. D'Adamo".
The correct title would be "D'Adamo ND".
He has a naturopathy degree, which does not
entitle him to use the title "Dr." in a
medical context. |
